I just ordered one of these from SVC to replace a broken one I had previously. Its a good buy for the price. It might be just a tad less bright than my previous one, but so close, I can't really tell. It came with everything...rocker switch, inverter, power connectors, velcro, etc.

We'll see how long it lasts, but so far I'm quite pleased with it.

hello tolbyn, what did you do in order to get it to work? did you just plug in the molex?

PHiuR, all you do is plug in the molex and it turns on. However, if you want to turn on and off, you connect it to the switch, it's just 2 wires, very simple.
Everything else is connectec, inverter, cathode, etc.

Does it not turn on or something?

I just got mines, definitely not as bright as the pcmods.com.

If you want something bright, go with pcmods.com. I normally get blinded staring at the my pcmods cathode. The SVC cathode is sorta dull, you can stare at it without any problems. Oh well.

It came in a large zip loc bag while the pcmods.com come in a cardboard, safely packed. You get what you pay for.

With the pcmods, you get stuff to help you drill the hole for the switch. The ends of the case tubing is closed also.

These seem to be very very similar to frozenpc's cathodes. Virtual hideout gave them a 5/10
