I thought the same thing on how the light should be mounted. I still think the light needs some finishing work though. Some black between the red and the blue and maybe some black around the bottom of the lens, a bit like this crappy MS Paint work:

I'm gonna have a thin piece of aluminum between the two colors.
As I said, I'm gonna mount the lightbar within the top of the case. Here's the 1st cut
I had to cut through the drive cage too.
That was some pretty thick steel.
And here it is. More coming.
That looks alot better.
I removed the cover from the lightbar
And here's the situation inside.
All the black stuff around the bulbs is silicon. I think it would do a lot of damage to remove the amber bulbs and replace them with red ones. I will, however, try with one of the corner bulbs to see exactly what I could be getting into.
I went with a plastic drying paint called Fire Engine Red and while it dries....
I added a switch to the lightbar that will attach in the back.

Very impressive. Hope you don't mind if I steal your idea a bit for when I finally get my Montana Highway Patrol mod underway.
+rep.
It's been a week since I've updated you because I've been working 40 hour weeks and doing finals for school, but I will be back to it next week.
Finally a little bit more done.
I attached the lightbar wires to a molex and added a switch to the back.
Then I put in a 400 Watt Antec. Any idea on what to do with the wiring mess?
looking good... as to the wiring mess... zip ties and cable sleeving?
I mean something possibly Police-Like
Can you mount the PSU upside down so that the cables are towards the back of the case and then take some more of that steel grill and make a cage (like the divider between the front and rear of a police car) to hold them to the back/top of the case?
Maybe see if you can find some very small pipe insulation foam to cover it with (since those things are always padded), as well as insulating it to prevent grounding out..
BTW:
+ Rep :)
clip the wires together with a bunch of these
I'd probably need a lot of those to get a noticeable effect....
Cool site though.
i just had a random thought... what about making a vertical drive and the lights are mounted to the front of your cd drive....with cabling run down the drive so it doesnt snag?
I have no idea what you're trying to say...
What if you wrapped the cables tightly in some type of sleeve and on the side of the sleeves facing out attach some Police tape?
Something else that might look cool is one of those square-mesh gates that separate the front from back seats. It could go in the side window. just a thought.
O.K. I really need to complete this real soon as I am starting another project. Here's the top with black electric tape (Just for show), I think I may use silver instead.
This is done. Please move it.
This mod was very well done. Good work GreatSatan.
Could you take a couple more pics of the completed mod?Quote:

Here's the finished product
The nine was oversprayed and it's kind of dirty looking
