Monitor MOD

Have you considered trying white LED's? They look great in some cases.

I just tried some white ones and they didn't light up as bright as the red does. Here are some pix of the white LEDs.

No Flash

With Flash

Definitly go red... Turn out a lot better.

yeah, the red looked by far the best...

The red looks better. It may just be easier to go for two mini CCFL's, may have better light coverage, and be brighter.

I think CCFL would be to bright and would look more like this.

Remember, I'm going for a lighting affect not as strong, like this.

It would also be easier to blend in the LED, resistor and wiring into the mod instead of the CCFL.

Yeah I guess your right, what about EL cable? You would get the same effect but you would see the strips in the day. They also faid over time.

Update time.

I made the acrylic panel smaller and painted the metal frame on the monitor all black. Here are some pix.

That's it for now.
