+1 Dont get cathodes.

I myself use LED . Better and more life !

Don't get cathodes , a mistake I did. They're bulky and a waste. Get the " NZXT Sleeved LED Kit " they're AMAZING. Sleeved so they're black mesh cables and really bright. You also get a PCI-E brightness controller etc. Amazing kit and quite cheap.

get a kit of bitfenix LEDs. best choice for the money

I'll jump on the LED bandwagon, I myself am using LEDs. This is what I myself am using:

Nothing too hard to do, just plug the molex connector and your done. If your looking for a long strip for a wider area then consider LED strips.

Edit: Just to help you out, linus starts to talk about cold cathodes @ 2:30 (referring to the link mrdowntownkiller has provided)

Finally found the thread after it's been moved   thanks for your responses! I've never seen the NCIX LED's before so I'll definitely take a look at them!

Cheers!
