DIY Cold Cathode Lamp

Step 3It starts coming together

it starts coming together
Next we will put the cathode into the dowel. For this, I just took my dremel and a sanding bit and sanded down the end with the wire till it slid into the top piece of the lamp.

Next take your PSU. I ended up de soldering most the wires because they weren't needed. You will need to keep two ground wires, one 12v and the green wire going to the motherboard connector.

I also lucked out a bit on the PSU Fan, half of it was rounded so I took my hole saw and make an 80mm hole to mount it on the bottom piece. Then I cut a quick hole for the plug to fit into.
