small marquee light powered from a laptop?

<< < (3/3)

Ginsu Victim:
Aside from the BBB, I've looked them up and found several complaints elsewhere.

If it's only a small amount and you get stiffed, that's one thing, but I was going to buy a PC.

Bender:
Thanks so much for all the input

I think one of those usb cathode tubes would do the trick maybe even two

I really want it to be able to run off the battery

I'll have a plug too, but I'd like to be able to use it with no external power for at least a couple of hours between charges

found This online
I think that this will work perfectly
