My afternoon mod!

Here is my mod using a cold cathode light set by akasa. I've been wanting to add a nice glowy light to the back of my monitor ever since i got an LCD, and last week I finally got around to thinking up a design. Here are the pics!



Here i filed a circular opening in a spare PCI plate to let a power cable poke out the back

Made a bracket assembly for the cathode, transformer and wires that will velcro to the monitor

Just a quick mock up

Extended, braided and removed passthrough molex on the power cable

Attached and coupling the DVI and power cables together

Up and running!

:)

Dude that looks sweet im gona do that :D

That is awesome! Perfect ending touch to a green themed case I'd reckon. I may do that too sometime lol. +rep dude.

Nice. + rep

Dang, so simple and yet so effective! I love it!

Maybe I'll do mine too, but with... blue? ha, yes. Blue, to match my cpu hsf. :)

+rep for a "I cant believe I never thought of that" moment. :p

Yup, i'm giving this a Rep too, i like it!

I'm totally going to do that (but with DUAL BLUE CATHODES WOOHOO) after I get some wire. Man, I am so short on the stuff.

i call doing tri color lol, gunna put a green a red and a blue then have a switch that lets me choose betenn them all and a separate one for off,

+rep for thinking of the things that none of the rest of us would have thought of
