"Yeah, yeah, I've heard it all before... you want blindingly bright, super loud, running 1138 blinkies off of the cheapest sound card you can find AND you want all of it to run on a battery the size of a dime, and run for a very, VERY long time. That one cracks me up every time..."

well I wired it up to not use a kill key, I am mainly worried about somthing happening and burning down the house if it is left pluged in, as a show piece on the wall. >< Let me know if I really should just throw that idea away and redo the wiring.(I dont even want to think about redoing that at the moment)
When I went to put it all together I just noticed that the battery pack with the batteries in it would not slide into the grenade grip I had >< (I had only tested it with an empty pack) I tried to dremmel it and hollow it out enough but that was a no go, it did work a little but not enough. So yeah I had to add a few extentions I had for another saber to it. so it is a little longer then planed and it might not look right with the short blade.

Kenan,
If you plan to have to always plugged in for show, do you even need the batteries at all? Just thinking out loud on this.
If you do need/want the batteries, you will find the pre-made Li-Ion pack is a little smaller: http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/74...Pack-P698.aspx. I just tested this in a grenade extension, and it does fit. So this as an option.
