Where can I buy inverters for cold cathodes cheap??

[stool]

You can try All Electronics (http://www.allelectronics.com) . They have a wide assortment of stuff that changes often, but I believe their catalog lists inverters.

[el]

you can get them at BG too. they call them Power supplies but get them in the lights section. I dont' know if the bottom of them are coated so don't go shocking the **** out of yourself.

Hey thanks guys :) I just ordered two 4 inch cold cathodes from bg...I know the 12 inch ones are only $1.00 more but I wanted two .....and two 12" ones would be way to brighht...:eek: I'll have to see if i can add to that order before it ships!!!

one four incher is plenty for a 12x9 inch window! I would have gotten the 12incher but remember to put some clear tubing around it or be careful with them cuz they are small and glass.

Yah,I figured there so cheap I mine as well just get two.. ;) el do you have stand offs on yer inverter or is it just insulated??OH and I'll pick up some clear tubing..thanks for the tip...

no I was ghetto about it used velcro so I could switch it out if I wanted to. they are nice all the CC are about the same. I don't like the red ones because they are too pink. the blue is the best adn bright as all heck. Mine are insulated but just be careful with in cuz you will shock the **** out of yourself if you touch it while it is on. try big piece of shrink wrap on the bottom if they aren't already done it for you. and the tube should be like 10mm or smaller. teh hard kind is found in teh shower section of Home Depot.

That thread will lead you to Streetglow.com. They sell an inverter with 4 outputs that can power neon or CC tubes. Or just about any other light source requiring an inverter. The cost is 20 dollars but through that link you can get it for 15 bucks.
