i changed the led on a 31/2" floppy drive from green to blue so it would match my case theme better. here are the pictures

i got the led from a old led gun lighter i ripped up.

well with the one i have theres lots of room so i would think so.


2 floppy discs?

i was just testing it on a old pc. i'm probably never even going to use the drive but i just want it in my case becuase i'm so used to having them. once i learn how to use ms money i will use it for backing up files like my dad does.


once i get my dvd drive(s) i will mod them too with blue LEDs.

As for the floppy drives, I have an external one (and a few in older pc's). I find having one is great...especially when using memtest! Great utility, and nice if you have the bootable floppy and a floppy drive.

I boot to USB. It's faster, easier, and you don't have to carry around a bulky floppy. :D

Gotta love it. Once you start modding things. You see all your electronics so much differently =P. Seems like everything can be changed somehow or another. Loved the mod though.
