its easy to find 12v. You can tap the yellow on a molex connector use use the 12v from your arcade power supply. Also, the animated Caparo in your sig is super annoying, congrats!

Having multiple light bars will help disperse the light better.  My suggestion is to remove the florescent light completely (including the square thing on the bottom (ballast) which will create a shadow on your marquee).  Replace it with this (under $10 with free shipping):  http://www.ebay.com/itm/LOGISYS-WHITE-12-DUAL-COLD-CATHODE-LIGHT-KIT-PC-Computer-CCFL-Inverter-Switch-/380401847045?pt=US_Computer_Case_Accessories_Tool_Kits&hash=item5891b78b05

Put one on the top and one on the bottom and you will be all set.  The kit comes with 2 light bars and plugs right into a 12v molex connector on your power supply.

Good Luck!

From what I can see, I would also try and centre it vertically...
