Neat. I wanted to do this same type of project with 24" fluorescent tube fixtures, using the cheap "mount anywhere" fixtures. You know the type, the ones that are mostly just the tube and the "case" is just barely bigger than the tube itself. At $15 to $20 each one seven segment display would cost $140. Times six $840. And this is just for the lights!

So....If you don't mind my asking....What kind of money would I be spending if I duplicated your project?

No photo at this time ... will try to get on
The nice thing about this clock was it
Extremly Smalll ... only 3 inches square
& 1 inch high .. it sat on a small angled
pedestal ... the case was the best looking
I had ever seen ... Miine has some broken
pcb traces & I can't seem to make a good
board, since it is very tiny
