    :D I have built two neon light kits of 30 cm in my case.
    My problem is that these neon light kits won't work properly. I have connect them to a separate ATX power supply of 250W, but they stil doesn't work porperly. My question is: Does anyone know what is current of these kits is ?:(

    I found the light kits at http://www.extremepc.be/listcat.asp?catcode=11

    are you using an inverter. its a lil square PCB with some junk on it that goes between the CC and the PSU and upps the voltage. it says you need 180 ~ 1000V to power it up, and the most your gonna be able to tap straight outta a computer PSU is 12v

    Also you will need a seperate inverter for each light.

    so its only lit up on the ends? ive seen this come up before.

    make sure you have it hooked up to the 12v line on your PSU. its the yellow on. red is 5v. the tubes arent getting enuf power or current or something like that. i would bet the 2 dollars i have left from my paycheck that thats your problem.

    power supply

    I have fixed my power supply, because the yellow 12V signal didn't reach higher then 7,5V so I had to control an fix it

    Thanks, for your comments
