    Hello sgtm,

    I bought it at brasilian e-Bay affiliated called mercadolivre.com. They are 10mm Leds and really brights the way. Today, at night, i'll post some photos of one of this leds conected on a 12V power source with a 370ohms resistor, since the leds are 3.5~3.8V

    Thank you for your visit !

    Bring some photos of front panel painting first results (at daylight):




    Upside down...


    On case:


    More water sands, i think it's enought now !


    I'll try to fabricate this thing on plexi, if unsucessfull i'll use it directly and mount it onto the front panel left side:


    Later i'll post some photos of 10mm leds on action and finish the sand job, now, i'm going to a law meeting... As atourney sure... :d

    Thank you for your visit !

    Pedro Torres.

    This thread delivers!

    +rep
    It's nice with strings because you can put the case on the height you want to work and becomes very confortable the painting job.

    Let me know when you start your case, i'll like to see it.

    Thanks for visiting,

    Pedro Torres.

    It is a good idea to do a scketh of your project and organize supplies to the job. Do not forget to buy tape of many kinds, you'll need it !

    See you !

    Well, i do not resist and did a small test with some light to see if the paint really works and, look at that thing:










    I am really impressed, it pumps lights everywhere and it's just 2 CC and i'll use 4 UV CC...

    See you soon with more nice updates,

    Pedro Torres.

    And I also agree with you 100% on this mod. Very inspiring!
    Thanks again drumthumper, i hope the weather gets better, until there, stay in home and drink some hot chocolate.

    Folks,

    Try watching this case tomorrow, i'll post the bigger update before the first chapter ends friday. Yeah, that's right, will be a second chapter on this. I already order a lot of news to do other larger update on this case. I really want to do the best case i can to participate on 2007 CM WW contest at the end of the year.

    The second part starts 18.02.2007 and consists on repaint the case, add some news and do a professional job on font, includind removing this temporary paint and, also, doing a lot of finishings works.

    Tomorrow i'll post the biggest update since the beggining of this project, before the D day.
