Help Creating CCFL 4 Port Switch

[Convergence]

Hey guys, I'm trying to create a switch that can control 4 different CCFL inputs.

I have seen this item here
http://store.yahoo.com/xoxide/dualvol6porb.html
But am unsure if I can control CCFL's using it.

I was thinking of getting 5 rocker switchs, one for power and the remaining 4 for controlling each CCFL output

The problem is I do not have any electrical experience and would not know how to make one.

If using

is possible, that would be preferable.

Thanks a lot

That WILL work for what you want to do, the problem is that you will have to do some wireing. That batbus has 3-pin fan plugs for output, your CCFL kits have 4-pin molex plugs. Other than that, you will have some not so good results running the baybus in the "Medium" setting. High should work just fine.

It may cost you about $20, but I would it myself if I needed one - switches are a few bucks a piece, and molex connectors and wire are probably free (from old fans) or very cheap

Give me the details and I will draw up a circuit design for it and help you build it if you decide to do that

I have 2 sets of CCFLs running off my Zalman fan controller. The Zalman fan controller has 2 switches for Hi-OFF-LOW settings. In the LOW setting, the CCFLs only light up about 25%. It actually looks pretty neat that way.

Here's a pic of it:
