Why would Bob do that?

Because I could see him being able to turn around and resell buttons if there is a large run of them made. Just better for his business I guess if he is interested in them.
NIVO:
on a side note to this......an idea I have for making somewhat of a unique lighting idea is to take the outer"ring" or holder of the button and making it transparent, and the button itself solid. You'll get a glow ring effect around the button that will give a nice Tron disc look in my opinion. If these buttons do get made I will purchase a few and tinker around with the idea for my project.
RayB:
HMMM. Are there cold cathod rings available in button size? I have seen only the ones made for fans.

I don't think they make CCFL rings that small. You'd be better off with some EL wire, EL tape, or lazer leds if you want to hook it directly to your PC. You could always just wire up LEDs as well, but I'm assuming you want a plug and go method.
Depending on your button setup, you could also use one or two 4" CCFLs, say one above and one below a 6 button layout....
