what a loonie.... legend!!! lol

cant wait

@Karbon Killa - Removing the connectors is part of the plan.

@p0Pe - I am using black tubing, and black anti kink coils, but I want to hide both of these under some sleeving.

@gramatton - Haha, thanks a lot man.

@jdbnsn - I'd love to see that, I've never seen it done before either. I thought I'd be the first TBH, but that's fine with me.

@Karbon Killa - I'm going o hunt for it now, hopefully I'll find it.

@DonT-FeaR - Sanity went out the door - along with all my money. hehe.

@ATX soldering - I've seen it before also as a hardcore way to hide cables. This guide shows how to solder without removing the header.

Might I suggest ChipQuik. It works very well for desoldering. The manufacturer offers free samples to SMT manufacturers; given the hobbyist PR, they may throw some your way.



Then again, after eee pc modding, a big honking atx connector will be a breeze. :)

Thanks for the links Mach, I appreciate that. I don't foresee any soldering issues as I have quite a lot of experience for a hobbiest - and a couple really nice soldering irons, one for surface mount.

I've actually used chip quick before to repair a Plasma TV, fantastic stuff but it sucks when it falls onto your lap because it keeps on burning as it rolls down your leg.

I know Mach knows about it, but I think this is a perfect time to PIMP my eeePC.

I must note that I modded my first eeePC before it was cool, and there weren't any examples to follow, or pinout diagrams at the time - just me, patience, and a multimeter.

Here is a link to one of my eeePC mods (and my first) - for those of you who haven't seen it before.

As far as I know it's the most heavily modded eeePC out there with 16additions:
2GB RAM (OCZ)
USB 32GB Flash Drive (Corsair)
16GB SDHC (SanDisk)
USB 4-port Hub 1 (Logix)
USB 4-port Hub 2 (Logix)
USB 7" Touch Screen 1 (eBay: Kiddshop)
USB ATSC wireless digital TV-Tuner (Artec)
USB Bluetooth Adaptor (Asus)
USB GPS Receiver (Route66)
mini-PCIe Wifi-N card (Intel)
Wifi-N MiMo antenna (x3)
USB Wireless Security AutoLock
USB 10-LED Light Bar 1 for keyboard illumination
USB 10-LED Light Bar 2 for internal "PIMP" lighting (w/ DIP on/off)
All onbard LED's and LED light bars swapped to 5000MCD Amber LED's

You are absolutely correct! That was they guy (markkleb) but unfortunately those images are no longer hosted. I emailed him asking him if he would re-post them so we will see.

Jon

Thanks a lot man, I'd love to see this.

Hey I know that guy, lol..........

In the next few days I will throw a few picts together and make a small gallery
(thanks JD)

WooHoo! Thanks for dropping in markkleb!

And for the rest of you boys and girls, just wait until you see what this dude can do. I highly recommend checking out his gallery when he posts it.

Jon

Very awesome, you've set the bar sir. I can't wait to see the rest of it!
Thank you very much for coming and sharing.


After some solder, a touch of dremeling and some 'cablegami', I'm hoping to hide the wires completely.
