Hahaha.  That's why I ended up with yellow.  I wanted RGB, but I think the yellow ended up better.  My HD was almost out of that stuff and it was in such a weird location (in our store, the wired doorbells have been replaced with wireless ones), so I bought them out.  One purple, one red, one yellow and one blue.

I bought both brands and they're identical.

That looks like an awesome control panel. I hope you can figure something out with the iPac 4.  :)

Here's what I found for solid-core door bell wires:

The only problem that I read with the green door chime wire is that the actual color for the wire is yellow, but I'm guessing that it won't be a problem. I noticed that it said that the one roll of wire was "single strand". Is that another term for solid core wires?

I wish I would have seen that wire at HD, I could have saved myself some money, I bought my wire at Radio Shack  :banghead:.
