CCFL powered from 115VAC?

[billw]

Does anybody know where I can get 115V ballasts (preferrably electronic) for driving those tiny CCFL tubes used in backlighting LCD panels (and making your computer case look cool, and all that)? The idea is to come up with something more modern, efficient, and "neater" than the usual chandelier (so figure I want to drive a total of 5 to 12 CCFL tubes, each 6 inches long or so...) I've got plenty of 5V inverters (nice and cheap) and know where to get 12V inverters, but that seems to introduce one or two unnecssary conversion steps...

Thanks
