A couple of m59 ballasts from an electronic wholesale place should fire up most 400w bulbs. You'll just need to get your own enclosure (I believe Des said he could make one up for a decent price). Depending on what kind of PC lights you want to run, a workhorse ballast should be more than sufficient.
I DIYed my entire lightsetup (2x175watt MH and 1x95watt VHO actinic) minus the reflector. I got my MH ballasts from bartle and gibson on fort rd, and I got my workhorse 7 from Litemor.
Hope that helps.
*edit* hah, looks like Harvey beat me to it and with more details too!
