Build yer own.  I copied it from Yaksplat's idea.  Here's a link to my build thread:

I am still very new to this and my electrical wiring experience is limited, but you have to start somewhere. :shrug: Ended up reading the manual online, didn't think about that.  It all came together and makes sense.  MonMotha, yes, you were correct.  I assume I would just run a 18 ga wire from that first pin -5VA on that connector in the pic to a +5VA pin on the molex connector of the computer PSU.  Is that right?

Powerstrip seems like a great solution.

It would be nice to wire the ON/OFF switch on top of the cabinet to a power strip or to the computer and plug the computer

That would give you 10 volts. Not a good idea if you have a 5V bulb... Or maybe I just got you wrong in some way.
