Default Where to get Cathodes.
I am just wondering if local stores such as RadioShack or something similar sell cathodes?

I guess the only way to find out is go there. I doubt RadioShack has them.

I get mine from www.frozencpu.com

But I bet CyberDruid has some around.

I believe it is www.cyberdruidpc.com

Well it depends on where you live. If you're in Silicon Valley, you can go to Fry's or there may be a MicroCenter in your area. I'm not too sure if RadioShack would carry cathodes, but it's worth a try since I remember someone posting that they were able to get a water-cooling kit from a local RadioShack.

Our local Radioshack carries 12" blue CCFLs and may also have the 12" UV CCFLs

Try PC Club if there is one nearby. I got some cathodes at my local one. Stock varies though.

They bought the Compusa name and kept the florida stores open. They have them there so i would have to believe they sell them there.

look online, usually there are a ton of underground stores (not literally underground, just not advertized big stores) that will sell exclusive parts. Try googling it.
