Answer 1

You don't unless you want to be able to turn them on and off.
Some come with round rocker switches and others with on off switches that mount in vacant pci slot in back. I have 2 neons in one of my machines with a 3.5inch panel in a floppy panel in front with a rocker switch for each tube. They usually come with a little blue box that you run the power into and then out to the tubes. Althou they sometimes have ports to run 2 tubes use a box for each tube as running 2 neons out of the same box makes them really dim.
You can run the power from your pc either thru the switch you get with it or not use the switch so it goes on anytime the puter fires up. Here's a site you may want to look around in.
