[xXAxHillbillyXx]

Well I heard a knocking on the door and to my surprise is was the mail man with a package for me. I wasn't expecting this for another few days.. well here it is
Items were packed very well

in foam peanuts boxes and bubble wrap

Can anyone tell me if I am just supposed to put like a lamp cord on this PSU and plug it in the wall?

here is a pics of my total collection as of now

Yes. The brick I sent is a 115V brick. You should be able to tell the power, neutral, and ground from the wire colors.

Peace,

Looks beautiful,

One day I hope too own a He-Ne, but I was put off the open ends and potential to give my self a shock

Is it possible to build like wooden enclosure for each end? so that the clips run in and cannot be seen or touched, with just the wires coming out?

Black, white, and green

Just in case my post confused anyone..

Black = Hot (power)
White = Neutral (power)
Green = Earth ground

Absolutely! People have used PVC pipes, wood, acrylic, etc to build housings that will protect the laser and the user while still allowing you to see what you want (plasma, beam, or both)

I placed my first tube in a PVC pipe I painted black, it worked (still does)

It does look great,

I think I might draw up a few plans and see what I can work out for a portable/desk top He-Ne.

Is that a green He-Ne?

Here's my design of a He-Ne lamp.
Got the parts together for 3 more smaller ones, minus one power supply.:bowdown:
