Anybody use el wire on their cabinet?

(1/4) > >>

TheOtherBob:
Hi, I picked up some el wire and temporarily (affixed it with Scotch tape) ran it along the edge of the side panel on my cabinet.  I rather like the look, kind of gives it a Tron look.  I was thinking that this might be neat to use for a cheap neon effect for the name of my cabinet down the side.  That could be a bit of work but the effect could be quite cool.  Anybody do this and have pics of the outcome?  And tips maybe?

Thanks!

welcome to the boards...

not tried el wire before...but el sheet is very cool - i built a mini-pc a while back (more than half the size of a briefcase) and covered the whole thing with blue el sheet...looks awsome when turned on!

 :P

Quite a few people use it to light translucent joystick handles. Other than that there hasn't been many examples of other uses yet.

Pixelhugger:
I've been planning on doing the same (using glow wire for a logo on the side) for a while. I hate tipping my cards on this since I was hoping to be the first, but since you're thinking of doing the same PM or email me and I'll give you the details. :P

I hadn't thought of using the el wire(I have seen it in some pc mods and it can look very nice) but what I had thought of doing was getting 1 or 2 of the sound reactive cold cathode tubes, either behind the marquee and under the CP or on the sides of the monitor(between the tv and the sides of the cabs), and riggingthe sound sensors 1 to the main speakers and the other to the sub, so it'd be somewhat coordinated
