you're welcome! I appreciate the fact that you can do things I can duplicate, but not start from scratch - you've got real talent!

Yeah, now that I see that, it's easier to see it on the smaller version. I think adding a glow around the neon is definately needed to make it more photorealistic.
I'm wondering if the light angle on the top of the ball will match the tubing glow, or would something more along the lines of the area in the snippet I have match up? Dunno if you follow, but basically make the shine (light angle) go further up on the ball so that the area I've shown is the light that shows on the top of the ball.
BTW, this in photoshop, yes?

June what type of sound-activated lights are you using and where did you get them?
It is looking great, looking forward to more photos.
Thank You

Hi Gary,
I'm sure I could have found the lights a lot cheaper, but I realized on Friday that it would be *much* easier to install them underneath while the cabinet was empty. So, I just ran out to our local CompUSA and bought these:

They were oh-so-easy to install. We just screwed them into the bottom of the cabinet and ran the wires up through a hole in the floor. Then, they just plugged straight into the PC power supply with a Molex connector. Here's the underside of the cabinet to show placement of the lights and the hole for wiring.

We got a few steps closer to completion today. Got the buttons wired and lighted, stuck the front door on, and a few other little things. Everything is done now except for the glass in front of the monitor and the artwork.
Oh, and I think I need to remodel the whole room now so that I can show off the jukebox. Guess that last step might just be a girl thing.... :P :D
