I just tried some white ones and they didn't light up as bright as the red does. Here are some pix of the white LEDs.

Definitly go red... Turn out a lot better.
yeah, the red looked by far the best...Quote:

I think CCFL would be to bright and would look more like this.Quote:

It would also be easier to blend in the LED, resistor and wiring into the mod instead of the CCFL.
Yeah I guess your right, what about EL cable? You would get the same effect but you would see the strips in the day. They also faid over time.

Update time. :D
I made the acrylic panel smaller and painted the metal frame on the monitor all black. Here are some pix.
That's it for now.
Still a really impressive mod. Can't wait fr more updates: I need more :)
