DIY Lights For Desk. - Reece - 06-27-2010

Not sure if this really deserves this section, but I didn't want to put it in the "OSHIT" section.

I pretty much just want to install a sound activated light under my glass desk. I want this to complete my "Setup". I currently have a Saitek Eclipse iii Illuminated Keyboard, Razer Deathadder, Cyber Snipa Tracer Mouse Pad, and Blue notifications on my Laptop.
Notice the trend?

To complete it I want a light under my desk that will *blink* when I turn on my music.

Here is my desk:

Here is a bar under my laptop that I was hoping I could mount the light to:

Now, I was looking on Amazon and found this:

I don't really know much about Cathodes except that they are mainly used for Pc setups. I'm not sure how they work. Does it just plugin to the wall and have a "sound module" I place to pickup sound?
Update.. I need a AC adapter.
What if I got this:

With the AC Adapter? That should work..
Does the "2 Molex" mean that I could use one adapter for both lights?

Btw, this is the adapter:

To be honest I have no idea if you could make it sound activated.. like so when you sit down it will automatically turn on?
