MGE Liquid Lite RGB (Magic Lite)

     Does any reader out there watch the 70's show? Does anyone remember the 70's? I sure do, although I barely remember having bell-bottoms when I was like 6. I also remember seeing my first lava-lamp, hence the remembrance of the 70's. There is also quite a few of you out there that may remember the static light? Yeah, you can still get them at flea markets, and dollar stores around the country. Both of these ideas of lighting are to some considered cheesy, but then again so are some of us that have nothing better to spend our hard-earned money on the latest computer goodies. Well there is good news my friends, the LED's are out and the static RGB lava-lamp contraption that we have here at ClubOC is in! This thing is kewl...

Specifications

  • MGE brand Liquid Light comes packed with various features not found on any other liquid light such as:

  • 12" Inch Long Cold Cathode (No Heat Emitted),

  • Several Colors to Choose From: Red, Green, Blue, and RGB Light that simulates Liquid movements!

  • Double Acrylic Shock Proof Housing insures a safe working environment for any system.

  • Slow Moving Wave Motion Liquid Light has an unparallel look and feel you wont find anywhere else.

  • More Info is Available at www.mge-usa.com

Features

     Most of the features of the Magic Light are pretty straightforward. If you've ever installed a cold-cathode light into your system, you get the basic idea that the light needs to be located somewhere to illuminate the best features of your computer system. ClubOC has reviewed many case lights and as a resource to you if you perform a search into our archives you'll count close to 12 different reviews on assorted case lighting and many different controllers that not only control the fans inside your case but the sound activation of your newest case light. I'll be the first to tell you that case lighting gets better and better every time I take the chance to review another light. :) For now I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

The kit contains the basic materials for proper case mounting, double-sided tape, some screws to mount the ends of the light mounts, and a switch to turn the light on or off. I still cannot figure out what the large washer is for..

Conclusion

     After taking about 10 minutes to wrap up my wires, and find a place large enough to accommodate this larger than usual cathode, I was able to get it up 'n running for some nice pictures and a short VIDEO!! well, ok, it's not the best video out there, but it'll give you a good idea how the RGB light works since the pictures don't catch the overall function of this light which differentiates itself from most of the other ones out there.

VIDEO

     Overall, I really like the MGE Liquid Light mods. They are just as easy to install as any other light mod, but they give your computer a unique look that stands out from the rest. Their only downfall is they cost a little more than standard cold cathode lights.
