Easiest way to light up some translucent buttons

If you just want em lit, I'd probably look at LED Christmas lights, they'll be wired, safe and all you have to do it plug them into a powerstrip.

Necro:

For no soldering, buy lighted buttons - easiest way.  If you want to light something you have, I recommend the under-button lights from Paradise Arcade.  They're bright as hell, but the work well and aren't too difficult to solder (hell, I did it).

Quickest?   Probably a standard drop-in florescent tube light fixture.

Necro:

That's actually a good point. If you just want everything lit, use a few CFL's...  would do a decent job.

BobA:

Sounds easy but use foam strips inside the CP and around the monitor to prevent the light from leaking and showing all the panel tolerances.
