Re: cm 690 mod (GT)
UPDATE TIME
so i got my stuff from A1 radio and this is a small update on what ive done:)
okay well this is something i didnt upload and show you guys but i changed the leds in the cdrom
casing opened up
led in place
led on
now for the new part:)
what i had done is placed the wire along the outside edge of the plexi and cut notches in it where the leds would go
i then placed the wire on the desk (like in the pic above) and put the black one right next to it and cut notches in it aswell.
pic of a notch
this is the leds on the inside of the panel.. it will probably all be covered in duct tape or something (they are just held in place but selotape for now)
fairly messy
this is what it looks like when lit up
and last of all
this is what it should look like when it is on the case
as you can see the scratches come out very easaly so i will have to clean it up a bit
hope you guys enjoy... more updates to come throughout the week if i have time

Re: cm 690 mod (GT)
That is the UGLIEST keyboard I have seen in a long time!
Re: cm 690 mod (GT)
Ugly keyboard but flippen nice backlit logo. Are you seriously going to just stick those wires down with duct tape? Can't you think of something better?

Re: cm 690 mod (GT)
update time woop woop
first off ..... the side panel.
i glued all the leds down with hot glue.... it does look a little messy but its not to bad
close up
okay and then the update for last nights work
im sure all the guys who have been following my log will remember this.
looks a bit plain and boring hey?
i wonder
so the plan was to replace the leds i burnt out underneath the case but this time ive used 3 of them
3 nice new leds
to make it neater and out of the way from hands that might end up under the case i used the plastic foot on the front of the case as a housing for all the leds
close up shot
i then had to cut three strips of yellow and black wire long enough to get into the case
all the little things needed to finish the wiring
started to strip the ends of the wiring
when i solder wire to an led or to a resistor i like to wrap the wire around one of the legs making it easier to solder
not very clear but im twirling wire around the leg of an led
all ready to be soldered
checking that the iron is hot enough
and finally one finished led with wiring
after i finished soldering all of the leds it was time to heat shrink them
before heat is applied
and after
then i wired these leds up to the switch that my side panel runs off and this is the final product
case on its side
upright with lights on
the all important lights off pic
more updates to come soon (i hope )

Re: cm 690 mod (GT)

Re: cm 690 mod (GT)
hai guys. got a call from my uncle a few days ago and from what i could make out it think he said he couldn't complete my order. (a bit hard to talk to him since hes a quadraplegic (sp) ) anyways.. ill probably go back to my original idea for sleeving since it is more engine like.... sadly im going to have to make a new plan with lighting. but ill be working on all of this again after exams. (2 weeks from now)
and i should be posting pics of a diffrent mod fairly soon as soon as i get the pc case
