Prices look about right to me. Do you have a spencers at your mall? They carry decent stuff that might work for you.

Yeah, I could look at Spencers .... good idea.   I wonder if they have stuff which will flash with the beat of the music .....

It's possible, but it may also be possible to buy a cheap one of those "beat flashers" and hack it with something more elaborate like this disc.  I'm going to give that a shot soon for a bartop.

If you get a hack working, then possibly start a thread about it to show others what you did?

Check the "horror fps bartop" thread in the near future.  That's where it will be.

I got mine at Walmart, of all places, for $24.00 each.
I don't remember if it was the 10" or 12" though.
They are in the Novelty Lighting section

FYI, (forgot to mention in my earlier post) The ones I got have two settings - Constant On and Sound Activated.

The ones from spencers react to sound and music.

Thanks for the link, but those are only 6" wide ...... very small.   I will go to Spencers next time I am at the mall.    Also, I will checkout Walmart.

did u find them at spensers?

I foudn them at spencers, but they wanted $20 for the 6" ones.  I ended up getting some on Ebay for cheaper.   I got a 12" blue one, and two 6" ones.  Not sure how to incorporate these yet, but they were a good deal so I spent the money.   They are sitting in their boxes in my closet right now ......    I am still gathering other bits and pieces.   I also live in South Florida so building something in the garage is going to have to wait until the cooler months most likely (depending on how long I can hold out making the cabinet ;D )

Still fiddling with the design and gathering hardware for it.   Hardest part is figuring out what to do with the speakers.    I have no knowledge on how to connect home audio speakers to the cabinet.  I was originally going to use a few pairs of computer speakers only, but do not know what to do yet for sure.
