I just had a great idea. Outline my G4 with fiberoptic cable. (the kind that they use for pool lighting, it shoes color the whole length) Has anyone done this? Does any one know where to get any of that cable. I think it is different than data fiber. I know it's out there.

I work for a pool company and can get all I want wholesale...

I don't think it would show through from the inside of the G4 case though. It would probably be better suited to an iMac or iBook. I think that Cash's secret hack involves this in some way too....

How thick is it? Could you put it on the out side? The handles have grooves that could fit pretty thick stuff. How much does it cost?

Maybe you got cheesy cable cash, it's not supposed to flash. And how did it make your computer screwy? Was this your secret hack?
