    Default My afternoon mod!

    Here is my mod using a cold cathode light set by akasa. I've been wanting to add a nice glowy light to the back of my monitor ever since i got an LCD, and last week I finally got around to thinking up a design. Here are the pics!



    Here i filed a circular opening in a spare PCI plate to let a power cable poke out the back



    Made a bracket assembly for the cathode, transformer and wires that will velcro to the monitor



    Just a quick mock up



    Extended, braided and removed passthrough molex on the power cable



    Attached and coupling the DVI and power cables together



    Up and running!

    Dang, so simple and yet so effective! I love it!

    Maybe I'll do mine too, but with... blue? ha, yes. Blue, to match my cpu hsf.

    +rep for a "I cant believe I never thought of that" moment. :p
    People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.
