    Default Where to find EL Wire in Stores?

    I've been looking everywhere for some EL Wire to trick out my tower, and am having a lot of trouble finding it anywhere but online. Anyone know of any actual stores that carry it?

    MicroCenter used to carry it.

    I would recommend buying it through EBay. You can get 15' strands for like $10. In a retail store it's going to be more like $35.

    I've seen plenty of cool LEDs and EL-wire accessories in automotive stores. Princess Auto, Lordco, although not at Canadian Tire ... it's usually somewhere in the bling-bling area with all the other chromed up overpriced micropackaged neon eye-candy parts for avid car modding geeks. You might have to gut the EL-wire components out of some useless gizmo, and may have limited choices of colours/size/shape/etc, and perhaps pay more than you would when ordering online ... but it's still an option.
