I want the same, but without using a PC power supply (AC outlet powered).

Get a wall wart that outputs 12v DC (or 5v if that's what you want) and wire it up.

The picture looks odd to me, but the short description sounds right.

That sounds like the ticket, kudos!

You would need a step down transformer, that would likely cost about the same as a 12V power supply. I just ran my Cold Cathode off of the 12V on the arcade PS.
