Cold Cathode Lights outside of PC, can it be done?

[imported_smittyinside]

I had the interesting idea the other day of mounting some cold cathode lights in various areas of my room to create some cool effects when the room lights are off. I was thinking of picking up an old AT power supply (with external switch) and running the molex connectors through there. Would that be a feasible solution or am I completely missing something?

Thanks in advance!

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to do that.

Why would you want to?

It should work fine. Just make sure to keep in mind that if you place the cathodes a long distance from the PS you may need to increase the size wire you use.

By size of wire, are you referring to the thickness or length?
