    i got a PCMods kit from an importer in singapore..
    it costed like umm.. 65 sing!!!
    so you convert to RM see how much thats gonna cost you for 1 small tube like that ( *2.08)
    i know this guy in US who gets it to ya for about RM70 1 tube.. but its like 15USD for shipping..
    so it would be worth it do get big orders..

    cathode bulbs are cheap in singapore

    S$65 is if you buy it from superpet

    Really nice case there ! How'd ya do the effect-painting ? Black and then "see-through " when lit from the inside ... really cool ! That would really be interesting to read.

    WOW.

    Thats very impressive.

    Its fantastic to see a real innovator at work.

    Its probably not entirely to my taste but I can allready see loads of things that I want to try on my next case.

    From reading your article ive got a idea about airbrushing a clear case from the inside. Ill have to have a think about for a bit, maybee ill post up a thread later on.

    Thanks allot and keep up the good work.

    Without a doubt one of the better mods ever..

    I have only one question to ask, as fellow modders, could you please tell me where to find those "press-on/press-off rotary speed controls" used in the project?

    I would _kill_ for those.. Been looking for it so freaki'n long!

    I guess they are rheostats from maplins They do a push on version, and one that has a click off too, pretty much like the one in the pc mods rheobus.

    Sorry I cant find the mappers codes tho, Im not a regular shopper there...

    Cheers
