Modding my PC case

Hey fellas, not that I'm trolling but I've posted this in GH, high tech, and Case & cool coz this applies to all.

First off, i saw a luminglas display for $20 at frys and thought it was really cool. I wanted to buy it but didn't at the moment. No biggie.

(just an image, wasn't exactly like the frys one)
Plasma Luminglas

Since the creation of my machine a few months back, I've been hitting it up with blacklights n UV innards for fun. I thought of cool idea to put the luminglas in the right panel, as its just a boring old black face.

Case2

My questions are as followed:
1. The plug of the glass is a standard wall outlet plug (is it called DC? i dono, im noobish). the glass maybe 4" to 10" in diameter, I have to figure that out. Can i strip the wire and attach it to a PSU accordingly?

2. I have a 430W PSU. Anyone who owns one of these know if its a power guzzler?

3. I've no idea how to use a dremel, but pure excitement helps me ignore that.

If all goes well and this crazy idea gets off the ground, instant pic for all (even if this idea isnt original =/ )
 
I really don't know much about these, but I wouldn't strip the wire and try to take apart your psu and toy with it. Maybe you have put it on the case and then run the wire out the back through and empty PCI slot or something. Playing with the psu insides is dangerous and tough.
