Cold Cathode Monitor 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!
