I bought these and they work great!  $9.35 with free shipping (and you get 2 of them).

I don't know whether they have improved over the last few years, but a while back, the company I worked for put a bunch of those cold cathode PC mod lights in some commercial machines.  2 months later, we were replacing all of them because they were about a third of their original brightness.  Could be that the cheap transformers were putting out too much power and cooked them, or the transformers themselves got weak.  Hopefully they are better now and you guys don't run into this.  Not a big deal for the home user, but it cost that company quite a bit to go on site to replace them.

yeah, ive had mostly negative experience with Cold cathodes. sometimes they are good, run forever... others it seems like a couple of months and they burn out...running dim...etc.

Mine are still going strong after a year. These have molex connectors on them.  So installation was a snap and they run off of the PC's power supply, so no need to worry about a cheap power supply.
