definately not the DIY type. thanks for the info tho.

MPL said:I wouldn't fret. It's very easy to assemble.
What I did for my ballast kit was take some galvanized sheet metal (dirt cheap from Home Depot or Lowe's) and bend it into 4" sections, with the 4th section being 5". You end up with a long square box. Get a drill, put some holes in it for the wiring, mount the ballast components, close it up and duct tape it all together. Voila. I wish I had some pics of mine. I actually have some case fans for PCs on each end, one blowing one pushing, so my ballast stays very, very cool.
Even with the fans, AC converter, metal and heavy duty duct tape it shouldn't cost you more than $30 to build this.
