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

comments welcome

That is the UGLIEST keyboard I have seen in a long time!

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?

im not sure hey.... if i did it neatly it could work....... ill find something though

duct tape is out for now.... since if i want to rip it off its going to leave sticky residue behind.... i thought about silicon but it doesn't stick much but is easy to remove.... anyone got ideas??

tomorrow i have no sport so i should do a few more updates ive done some stuff today but ill update tomorrow as i didnt take any pics.... (yet)

okay i figured out how to do the leds...... will post pics as soon as i get time.... which might only be at the end of the week:(

hot glue

how did you know? lol...i still have to try post pics sometime

hey guys
its been a while (just over 2 months )
ive got good news and bad news

good news is that ive done some modding this week and i should have some pictures up
more good news one of the guys in my local town saw my case and now wants me to mod one for him ..... its just a simple window with lighting but im trying to think of some new ideas (with the limited plexi i have)

bad news is my parts are sitting in the uk still

ill update as soon as my sister finds her camera...

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 )

comments welcome

It looks nice. Personally I don't like the big nuts you used but the lighting looks good.

It's been a while since your last update Mr djwez , but looking good, can c you've been busy

actually havnt been that busy. still need to touch up the side panels a little bit, there are quite a few scratches.

hopefully ill be updating more often

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
