I don't think you want neons but cathodes. Do a search for cathodes and I am sure you will find something you need. You can also use LEDs.

It depends on how they work. As, mentioned plain lights usually use a 12 VDC power source. Some may have the plugs to connect direct to the Power Supply and some may plug to the Mother Board. There are some that use an inverter for 12 VDC. When you get them, you will be able to figure it out.
One thing when we start doing "Computer Mods" pay attention to the Amps you use for what you add. I have seen people add a lot of Eye-Candy and Hardware (Dual-Graphics Cards) to a Gaming computer and they have a 350-400 watt power supply and wonder why it blows out on them.
I try to find you a few links.

Usually neons are bypassed long with the cooling fans. Or you might have free cooling fan pins on your motherboard to plug into. Most likely you would unplug one of the fans use y power connector to run the fan and the light at the same time. Or just plug the power directly into the power supply.
