i don't care what anyone says cold cathodes are not cold... they do get warm but no where near as hot as whata actual lightbulb would get mine get warmer than the room temp is so yeah it will add some heat to your case my case temp usually drops 4F when i don't have mine on.... also where did you find those short tubes at... i need to find a 4" UV one for my case...

yes they do get warm.... but not as warm as a neon counterpart. But the way to go is LED.

yeah thay are a lil costly there, byt they are the only place I found with that size.... and she ordered hers with a friend so they split the shipping.... ( he ordered a full size UV light and it was less then her mini one )
