There was another thread started in the past few days asking about home theatre PC's and that got me thinking...we're about to buy a new HD tv and sound system...why not plan to build a home theatre PC? I'll probably try to incorporate my XBox and PS2 into it as well...and thats where my question comes in...I am going to build a case from scratch and have it sectioned off into three compartments, one each for the PC, XBox and PS2. I'll probably do an aluminum case with a smoked plexi front and stealthed polished aluminum or steel drives. Each comparment will have it's own color theme (white for the PC, green for Xbox and blue for PS2) and I want to set it up so that the lights are on only when their respective system is on. Not a problem for the computer...but I was looking at the PSU for both the Xbox and the PS2 and I'm not sure where to tap the 12v from needed for each inverter. Any suggestions?

Xboxs have molex connectors in them already, but I'm not sure about the PS2. You could just go buy a Y Power splitting cable and attach it to one of the molex connectors. Then, plug one end into the inverter and one into the device you took the other one from.
