I purchased this light https://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/pcmods/5b60/ that is powered from a PC power supply via 4pin molex, but I just wanted to plug the light directly into the wall. I didnt realize it was powered thru the PC when I bought it.

Power from the 4 pin molex are 12 VDC and 5 VDC. You will just destroy that light if you plug it directly to 110 or 220 VAC.

You will still need a power supply. The item that they are selling carry a special voltage that can be easily split via power supply.
I don't think plugging one power supply without a case is a good idea but that basically at your own risk because it might work ... for you that is. Power supply can be sold for $10, this is good for you.

Maybe using a computer power supply or any power supply that can supply 12 volts... but you may need to change the connectors...

Its going to see one hell-of-a light show for about 3 seconds. Wish I could watch (from a safe distance, of course). Keep us informed (if you survive the blast).
