hmm, perhaps I'll figure out a good way to ground that.
For all you electricians out there:
If I was to buy a 3 prong plug, 3wire cord (postive, negative, and ground), and attach the ground to the housing of the ballast... would that actually correctly ground the ballast?

not an electrician but I have zaped my self enuf
but to answer your question if you are putting it in to a plastic housing yes that will ground the ballast properly. thats what the bolt in one of the hols on the ballast is for actualy.
anyways, I would go with the PC's or VHO. I was looking at a T5 set up with two bulbs and was not impressed in the least. only about 1/2 the visual bright ness of a PC/VHO set up of the same size.
from what I have seen for T5's so far they would make great suplmental lighting but I don't see how you could actualy get good results on SPS from them.
