I want to install a 4" cold cathode in my PS2 and I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice or point me in the direction of a good guide.

Thanks!!

Whats the voltage requirement, you can connect it to the 5V output coming from the usb port if you want.

Average Current Damand +/- 3.7w
Cold cathode lamps operate by use on a power inverter, which converts the standard 12V input to hundreds of volts of power. This is done by minimizing the amperage, via the inverter unit.
I know I can draw power from the USB but I don't know if it's enough. I'm sure I can draw from the power supply but I'm not exactly sure of the wiring.
