LED or Cold Cathode neon lamps?

[Traytor]

I want your oppinion guys, I just bought a COOLERMASTER Transparent Acrylic Side Window Panel for my 690.

Now I am wondering how to light up that case. What is better LED or neon lamps? (like this one for example).

LEDs are better imo.

 

They last longer, consume less power, and can be very very bright.

LEDs

LEDs are a no brainer these days.

They are cheaper, brighter, last longer, more flexible, use less energy and don't require silly power converters...
Unless you really really REALLY want a cold cathodes... LEDs are the way to go.

LED's are the way to go, the only benefit of using a cold cathode is light dispersion since it gives off light in a 360 degrees giving a more "ambient glow", but as long as you correctly orient the LED's they give the same effect, being brighter, slimmer, less fragile and more efficient.

I like CCFLs. They look different to LEDs which are so commonplace now. That said, I still recommend LEDs

I would go with LED's. The options for placing them in a case are much better, they don't look much different, and they are much more reliable.
