Cold Cathodes that light up computer cases do not require any special wiring. A kit comes with everything you need, including the tube, inverter and switch. All that is necessary is drilling a hole in the case and sliding in the switch. A very simple affair, no need for an electrician.

Happy Modding

Another cool idea is to go down to your local auto parts store and check out some toggle switches for your lights. There are a lot of different styles, and if you match them with your case right, they can look realy cool!

Check out RS components website for some switches

http://rswww.com/cgi-bin/bv/browse/B...oid=-446794951

To buy anthing off them you'll have to open an account (mainly aimed at businesses), they do quite a big range of different panel mounting switches
