Hey there!

Does Cold Cathode require a certain type of power delivery?

I have a couple that came with a Vantec Nexus, that would be pointless in a P180 that has no window(s).

I tried connecting it to a test bench PSU, no luck. the PSU works, tested with a fan.

Never messed with Cold Cathode, hope I didn't bugger it by plugging it in directly.

I believe you have to connect it through an inverter(sp?) for it to work.

Yep, you'll need an inverter. Most inverters have two 2-pin plugs that you can plug your cold cathode in. If you need one you can find them on svc, xoxide, for like $4-8 for regular or sound reactive.

Thanks guys.

Does anyone know what I would need to make one? I'm feeling kinda lazy... Any links?

Just did a search on Google and didn't come up with anything. :S
I guess you'll have to get one of xoxide, newegg, etc.

It just basicly controls the wattage/amps/volts whatever I guess.. don't exactly know how to make it but it should be simple if you don't want it to be sound reactive or anything

Right on righteous doods!

I'll order one, so that I know that I have a working unit. These are going into an acrylic homemade case.
