I like the UV ones with some UV sensitive fans and cables... looks real nice and isn't blinding like the blue CC's are...

personally, I really like the way the blues look. If its put just under the window where you cant stare directly at the cathode, then its all good

The reds always seem pink to me

Havnt seen the greens purples or whatever else there is

Too many choices....

I've installed two blue ones, a red one, and a tri-color cold cathode in my machines. Right now I have two UV cold cathodes waiting a new case (just ordered another Coolermaster ATC-710 in dark grey from Newegg), and I also have another tri-color one coming to me after they broke the first one in transit. My color preference? I think the tri-color cold cathodes look great, but I'm expecting a cool light effect from using the dual UV's (which were cheap at $9.99 each - ordered them from BestByte.com "Light Blue / Ultraviolet Cold Cathode Light Kit (CMCLUB)"). Even my red cold cathode looks nice to me (not pink anyway). The trick is to hide the light so that you can't look directly at it. Currently, I've only used one light per case, but for my upcoming mod project, I think I'll use two of the UV's, mounting them near the front along the drive cages. This will be similar to what Voodoo computers does with their Coolermaster ATC-710 case. I won't be making such a fancy window on the side though - just a small window to give you a peak of what's inside, but not large enough to see the drive cages and the power supply... :D
