I have just set up a quick page giving a quick overview of this with a chart that tells you whick wire is 12 and which wire is 5 volts and how to do it without ruining your power supply.
go here to view my tutorial on this subject
Hope this clears things up.

: Not to be rude but I'd like to jump in on this. Everyone keeps saying "I just hooked it up to my PC's 12v". How exactly do you connect it? Cut and strip the lead and attach flag clips? Use some sort of adapter to convert the PC plug into bare wires? Some sort of male clip to plug into the PC plug? I hope you understand the picture I am trying to paint. How do you use the white plastic thing on the end of the PC 12V power to connect too the forks of the coin lights? Thanks for any info.
: : I hooked mine into the PC power 12V supply. Works great.

: : : I recently acquired a coin door for my custom cabinet and would like to get the reject button lights working. Since it is a custom cabinet, there is no power supply already installed. Is there any way I could hack a plug in the wall transformer to put out enough juice to power the lights? If so, what kind of voltage/amperage would I need to run the lights? I figure it's either 5 volts or 12 volts like most arcade power supplys put out. If you have any ideas, please post. Thanx!
