Desk mod?

Hey all,

I don't know if this was the right forum, but since it's mod-related, I figured I'd post it here.

I was wondering how it would be possible to hook up cold cathodes to my desk. It was suggested to just buy a power supply and use the outputs of it to hook it up to the cathodes, but I'm not sure if that's a/the smart thing to do. I wanted to basically light up my desk, in addition to my case ;)

I found this thread, but I'm not sure what the best way to go is, and I'm looking for advice. Please give me some :)

Thanks!
 
They have some USB 4" cathode kit things that are specifically made for external light..

should look 'em up
 
I'm looking to line my desk with these, so I'm probably going to need around 48" of cathode.
That might've been an important detail I left out :x
 
Someone here a long time ago did that with their desk. They had a few PSU mounted to the underside and had red, green, and blue lights under throughout the desk and had a switch for each set of lights.

dont know what happened to the thread with the pics of it though
 
should be able to just hot wire a psu (the faq has a pic of the 2 main power pins you need to connect) and mount that somewhere. then use those leads to power the lights. as long as you safely wire up the main power pins this would be just as safe as running a psu any other time.
 
Hotwiring a PSU is easy, just green to ground. I do it all the time :D

I would use an old crappy PSU from an old computer (even pre-ATX will work, that way there is no hotwiring involved)
