unfortunately, it seems that radio shack is my closest option and thats at least a 20 minute drive away. People in my area don't DIY... the only hardware store nearby that i knew of was a sears...

Thanks Konrad, for this component, will I be able to just pick one up at a home depot? The online sources i found seem to want me to purchase in bulk...

I want the entire small bar to light up. I want to put this behind plexi so when the HDD is active the light will flash and the silhouette i have on the plexi will become visible with a kind of...

I saw that from your google link, it looks super complicated... My knowledge of electrical things is nearly nonexistent, I'm not even comfortable with circuits. I was hoping for some...

Oh wow, this is way more complicated than i expected, i dont know what half of these parts are or how they work...

I read the links, and i have a few questions:

Wont using the transistor then...

Well, i want two small LED Strips, kinda like these to blink and light up in place of the original LEDs, so the only harddrive activity blinking would be from the main hdd that you would normally use...

Hey all,

I want to install LED lights for the HD activity and power lights for a case and I was wondering how I would go about wiring it? This is probably a dumb question, but I honestly have no...

I do not have a test panel to work with.

I am mostly done with sanding it, but the edges right next to the tape still is not as sanded, theres about a little under a mm thats still the same finish...

The case has a matte black coat but the HAF logo is in gloss black. Although I plan to use red and not black against the matte black on my case, I was aiming to have that look where you can tell...

I will look into that tape. I totally get what you mean by black not being black, this case is suppsoed to be black but its really a super dark gray, black paint wouldnt match. I was thinking of...

O.o

Oh ****.. I didnt even think of that... Probably would have been wise, but its too late now. And I think it would be nicer to have paint than vinyl.

Well i am using 600 grit wet/dry right now because im sanding really carefully to avoid destroying the masking tape and my design outline. The thing with primer is that its very thick and even after...

OK, well i covered the entire surface of the case with masking tape, and I cut away the tape in my pattern and I was planning on just sanding those areas and painting. However, if I went and used...

Hey all,

I was wondering if anyone could give me some tips on painting a design on a case without sanding the entire things down and painting it? I want to make the pattern as smooth as possible...

Sorry for the really delayed responses, ended up going on spring break. Anyway, a friend is offering to buy my current rams off me and I'm ordering new ones with a smaller heatsink so it will all...

would just chopping off the heat sink that's extended too far work? Or is it safer to just get new ram that doesnt have such a tall heatsink?

Sorry about the ultra delayed response, I live in DC and we got hit ahrd by the snow and i had to catch up on schoolwork cuz I ended up procrastinating and drinking my days off away. Anyway, it...

well since the mothboard ont even post on my monitor its probably the worse case if theres something wrong. I cant turn the heat sink, all other ways of installing it would put it in more contact...

well the gpu fan comes on, ill try the ram see if one works. The new heatsink does push on the first ram bit a little, i really hope its not that, but then again i guess it would be cheaper and less...

I do not have the speaker on the motherboard. However, since the board isnt event posting on my monitor could it be something with my gpu? I pulled out teh rams but they dont smell like they fried...

OK so i wondered if it was my heatsink being too tight and, possibly irrationally, i loosed one screw a little and turned it on and voila it works. Is it still my motherboard? Is something cracked...

how do i check if its damaged my motherboard?

I will go and order this adapter, but i feel that it may be the board since my other psu now exhibits this same behavior when i plug it in. Could it be something with the new heatsink? such as...

Hey guys,

I recently changed out my heatsink and psu. I changed from the intel stock cooler to a passive one by silverstone and a 500w silverstone psu to a 700 ocz psu. For some reason,...

U should make the hoo-hah a usb port... >.> major awkward looks when u show it off. Idea is neat though, u could prolly get an old mannequin from a department store.
