The picture makes the light seem very very faint. I could really benefit from a USB one because my PS woun't have room to hook it up. Has anyone use these? Any good?

Yeah it must be pretty dim because a decent 29000 cd/m2 bulb takes around 8 watts.

If you don't mind red here is a really good DEAL.

Damnnnn thats big! The reason my PSU woun't have room for the cold cathode is because im going to build a Shuttle XPC system. The PSU is 200W and only has like 2 plugs. I guess I could buy some splitters but I don't want to overload the PSU.

i do not recommend it on the USB at all. you may as well just get an ac adapter and do stuff with it.
