I was looking for UK equivalents and where they are stocked if they were not 12 V items as we we run a slighly different voltage system in this country ;) . I wanted to know if people were using special  marquee lights or something else I could cobble together from more common light fittings

Measure the amount of space you have and pop down to B&Q,Homebase, Focus etc and see what they have in stock....

Maybe a single 18w fluorescent fitting or a double, depending on how bright you want it.....

Hold on.....

My Sega cab has a single 15w tube.....

Are you using a standard power supply in a PC?  Wouldn't that still be 12v?  Even though the power supply on the other end would be switched to 220 it should not matter internally.  If so it would be a snap to install an LED light from GGG.

Nip over to Maplin and get a 6" Cold Cathode tube for £5.99 and then hook it up to a spare molex in your PC.

Nice and bright and won't break the bank.

Wouldn't that be a bit small? The standard size for a marquee is normally 24", isn't it?
