    @cookies, noise doesnt really bother me, ill just crank up the iTunes. thankz for the tip on the regulator too +rep for preventing me from blowin up my airbrush
    Another thing, some compressors will not work very well at low PSI with the regulator on. You really need to watch the CFM rating on them. Which ever airbrush you get it should tell you what PSI/CFM is recommended. Find a suitable compressor after you get the airbrush. A big bulky compressor will have too high of CFM while the cheapest thing you can get might have extremely low CFM.

    Anything to help.

    Google has completely failed me... I can not find mainboard headers. I might just grab a few connectors that are close to fitting and use my dremel to convince them into fitting

    No camera right now. Besides, the case is taken 100% apart again so its boring looking I am trying to figure out a way to protect the bottom EL wire from being pinched if the case is moved.

    if its on the bottom edge of the case, then higher case feet. sorry for my inexperience w/ EL Wire, but what happens if it gets pinched too much?

    Well when moving the case last time the wire got cut when putting it up on the desk. I can fix it but its a problem none the less.

    sounds good, one thing i have noticed is that not alot of people use EL wire on these forums, ive only seen renderman and you actively applying it to your mods. in both scenarios it came out great.

    It is great stuff. Cheaper than CCFLs, you get way more of it, and its like string so you can wrap it around things. If they made UV EL wire I would replace my UV CCFLs with it.

    Well sorry guys I think I am at a stand still on this mod. My arm is starting to feel better but today at work I burnt my hand... my left hand... the very same hand that is attached to the arm I hurt... Go figure. Anyways anyone got tips for typing with one hand? I've been doing ok so far. How about modding with one hand? There is a crap load of dremeling left to do and I am not willing to get that thing spinning with only one hand... dont want to slip and then have to patch holes. Either way I'm stuck... unless someone in my area on here wants to lend a "hand" :p

    I think I will be able to start up again in a few days as long as my finger tips dont blister badly which would completely suck if they do. For the time being I am putting Resistance on hold. Sorry
