you should be able to do purple with the Electric Ice buttons and an RGB drive.

Purple is definitely possible with the Electric Ice buttons and an RGB LED. 

Take a look at a video of my cabinet in action (here).  When a game is launched, you can see how the buttons flash in purple (basically at full red, blue, green).  Just to give you an idea...

A cab with a purple and orange color scheme would probably look awesome.

I'm actually gonna try that scheme on my next project, a Metroid inspired bar-top, got the orange t-molding and such, will have a background thats rather purple, was thinking of an Electric Ice trackball, orange Novagems, but a mixture of orange/purple buttons might look pretty nice too  :) 

edge - That looks excellent, I'm torn at which way to go with the Nova's or EI, I like the fact that the EI's can switch colors, but I like the look of the colored translucents switched on or off too  :dunno

Randy, please help an electronically-challenged dude through this. Right now, I use an ultimarc for my pushbuttons. But I really would like to use these LED buttons you're offering.

In order to do that, would I have to buy the LED-WIZ? If not, what all would I need? I would just take out my existing buttons (duh), and then install yours...and I could use my existing microswitches and Ultimarc? Would I run the power 5V power for the button from my computer power supply? And if so, how many Novagem pushbuttons could that same power supply handle?

If you would, go slowly in your response. Act like you're talking to a small child. :)

Thanks in advance for your patience with my questions!

EDIT**** I should add that I'm not looking for things like audio-controlled lights or flashing or anything...I just want them to light up.
