Well I was going to wait until I finished my Monitor Mod before I posted anything about my case mod. I didn't want you guys to think I was all talk and no action but what the hell. I just posted the thread on my case mod idea,Barebone Case, that this LDR switch was designed for. Hope you guys enjoy.

So where is the LDR in the parts list then cos this is really confusing me lol!

Oh sorry forgot about the LDRs. I couldn't find them listed on the RadioShack web site but I know they have them. The model # is 276-1657, I bought a pack of assorted LDRs there. Any one of them will work. I personally used the smaller one.

I can't believe it actually worked :O:O:O

+rep that man.

hehe, if you were a terrific aim, you could turn your computer on with a spitball or something. Practice your paintball aim by turning on your computer, etc. Fun stuff.
