Okay, I was looking to spice up my computer a little bit and I found that you can buy parts for your computer, such as cables, slot protectors and what-not that glow in UV light. I currently have the following things in my shopping cart: http://www.xpcgear.com/18floppyglow1.html http://www.xpcgear.com/dualccfluv.html http://www.xpcgear.com/18sata2uvgreen.html http://www.xpcgear.com/vantecspefan.html http://www.xpcgear.com/redslotkit.html http://www.xpcgear.com/24ata13rouni.html http://www.xpcgear.com/120ccflblueuv.html I'd just like your opinions on what you think. I do have a few other questions too: 1. Is this website known and reliable? Have any of you guys used it before? 2. Are the dual lights required? Or will the cooling card be enough to lighten up the whole case? 3. What source does the card use? 4. What source do the lights use? And what connectors are required? Molex? 5. Anything else I should add? I doing think I'm quite ready to re-do the sleeving on my power cables (I believe it's a huge hassle, too). Thanks guys! |

Hey, i just googled "XPCgear reviews".. u might want to check that out before making any decisions. There are mixed reviews, most of them are negative, just wanted you to know before you purchased anything...

Ahh... thanks for the heads up  QUOTE(garmanma @ Jul 4 2008, 01:56 PM) You also might want to check out http://www.xoxide.com/ Are there any alternate websites to this that are reliable? I'm really looking for a PCI slot protector in a red (or yellow) colour, and they don't seem to supply them  |

Hey Garmanma!
Do any of these stores have locations/warehouses in Canada? They're shipping to Canada is ridiculously high. Turns out that the shipping works out more than the components themselves
