How much will a light inside my case effect the temps

[KouklatheCat]

I just spent a little time and a whole lot of money into getting my case cooler. I am thinking about adding a window and some kind of light on the inside of my case. How much will the light increas temps if at all??????

Thanks

If you get neon lights like most people have, it won't raise the temperature at all ... neon doesn't generate heat.

Cool.... Now where is a good place to buy them?

Thanks

I'm thinking about maybe picking up one of those cheap licence plate neons at Wal-Mart. I wonder how well they will work.

Instead of the window im thinking about putting one just above or below the factory "grille" on the side of my enlight 7237. Im wondering how much of a pain and costly it would be to make the lights flicker or gradually get brighter then off and repeat the sequence?

That is a good idea...12V and I wonder if they make the lights sequence. Might be just what im looking for...........

There are lots of sites where you can purchase neon lights to put in your case.

These are just a few you can check out:

or you can get one of those super LED's... they come in blue and white.. I think purple too.. they're really sweet and really bright (really bright!!!) ... I switched the power light in my old p75 to a super blue and it practically lights up my whole room at night .. I think that if you got a couple of those in there, it would look nice, cause you can position them so that you can't actually see the light source, just the light.. ??? (it's more original than neon, don't be a computer gino) hahahah

I dunno I really like that liquid Green Neon light. I cut the AMD Athlon logo out of the side of my case and backed it with green plexi glass. The green light wouldnt really make much of a difference here but it would easily show through the factory vent holes in my Enlight 7237.
