EL Neon Wire/Strip? Need help...

Hi everyone! My first post over at these forums, and I'm already going to annoy you with a question...

I've looked all over (probably in all the wrong places) for white EL wire/strip/etc. I can't find what I need at all. All I need is 5-6 ft. of it for the mod that I'm about to finish.

This is my first case mod, and I'm trying to do a good job, but I'm afraid that I don't have the knowledge and resources of an experienced case-modder. It's a very plain mod, spraypaint, a small window, thats about it. The neon is probably going to be the high point of this mod.

Maybe sometime after I finish, I'll mod it more heavily, but until then, can anyone help me find white neon?

question, what r u doing with the neon? Is it something that can be done with LED's? Pugsley has some nice very very bright white ones

No not really, I'm outlining and stuff like this: http://www.casemodgod.com/elneon_0181_copy1.jpg <-- (not my case mod, I just ripped it off some website)

But it needs to be white... not something like light blue... It doesn't necessarily have to be wire, anything that can outline things like in that picture above.

Most places have them only in red, blue or green. But found one here in white:

These are cheaper and include an inverter (scroll down).

Can you bend Cold Cathode? I don't know much about CC.

No. They will break. Only the wires are bendable.

Is that bright white or more of a dull white/gray?

I have no idea. Never had one from them.

Well, order was placed, we'll just have to wait and see :D


If you guys care, I'll put my mod up when I'm done.

One warning- It's not a PC case mod. It's an Xbox.

Sure, pop it up. We'd love to see it. :)
