My Monster Computer + Gadgets + LED Lights in cabinet [WARNING: 24MB!!]

I decided to make a thread to show off everything I have. Sure, there are many much better products available but these are the best in my friends circle and relatives

And also, my computer may not be as "monster" as of many others, but its still the best computer I have used till now.. :))

LED Lights in Cabinet.
From long time I wanted a cabinet with lights but I was unable to get LED fans locally and I dont want to go very far. So, after thinking a lot, I got an idea about having LEDs in cabinet itself rather than in fans. This is both, my "2-days timepass" and something that looks nice n I wanted.

Here are some pics:

With lights off

What actually is there....

*dl.dropbox.com/u/31104340/Good/DSC00116.JPG
2 LEDs[green and blue] and a battery.

With only green LEDs in front

*dl.dropbox.com/u/31104340/Good/DSC00122.JPG

I am planning to join a switch and add another battery and a few more LEDs(around 5) to it... maybe tomorrow or on Monday. I will post the images of complete lighting then

. Really, I am impressed by what I did and I am very happy with these lights. I just have a question, Is it possible to connect these LEDs to somewhere in PSU/Motherboard so that I dont have to use battery??

Rest of "All I have"

Thanks. And for resolution, I guess thats why total image size is 24MB and its taking so long to upload..., stupid me!!

I will resize them

EDIT: Done. And now size is just 3 MB... I guess some mod should change title of the thread..

I like Sapphire HD 6850 &
"BenQ G2220HD".

Good rig, except for the psu. :thumbs:

s it possible to connect these LEDs to somewhere in PSU/Motherboard so that I dont have to use battery??

Use 4 pin molex connectors.

nice rig.which cabby is that?I think you need some serious cable management.
the wallpaper is great but why don't you increase the transparency?

Thanks. Its a CM Elite 310. I dont like the design of cabinet very much, but with LEDs in it, its looking great..!
Even I think that there is need of some cable management but... I am a noob at this too..

And I like with around 70% transparency only....

You need to make your sidepanel transparent for the full gala. i am having the same cabby. see my modding in ELITE 310. surely throw some enthu in you

THE CONNECTION

Thanks. I like your green light. will try to do it.

^^That looks great!!

How much did it cost to you? How did you fix the glass?

And how did you cut the side panel(which tools or from whom)??

acrylic sheet 100+ bought from GLASS SHOP. the glass was cut by them according to the side panel design.

gum 80 rs. but unfortunately the gum does not work out. you may try feviquik.

the side panel was cut by an electrician friend(free of cost). you may try grillmaker also. the tool is sheet cutter.

does the led have 3 pin connector(s)?

I may try it after exams...

that car decor is just a strip without any wire. it has a +ve and -ve sign. you need to weld small wires according to the length and then insert it inside the MOLEX. bought for 100/- per foot.

Well does that mean if I also connect my LED's wires to it, it will work? Thats nice.....

yes. previously i have tested that also.

Guess what? I plugged LEDs into a wire which was similar to one in which fan was connected, but a little smaller. I switched it on and pressed power button on CPU to see what happens, for about 1/4th second green light came from LEDs and suddenly it changed to red and approximately after 2 more seconds I heard a pop sound..... :))

All my LEDs are dead now... but luckily everything is fine; I was scared

^^ You killed them by applying over-voltage.

LOL I know that..

But now my cabinet is without lights...

^^those must be 3.5v LED to which you have given either 5 or 12 v.

You dont need to make LEDs. You can buy pre-built online.

guys ur modding is awesome ...........there should be a sticky thread to give a detailed instructions on connecting the led in your molex ports to light up your cabinet.......lets all request the moderators for creating this ......and publish it in the next magazine under the column do it yourself

LED fans looks awesome if they match rig color correctly. Congos for your decision to buy LED ones.

Thanks.. I wanted LED Fans from all the time but was unable to get them as I am not allowed to go far from my home(I am a kid

) and all shops nearby said that no such fans are manufactured! :shock:

I finally found a shop which said that they can get LED fans and the PSU I want from market...

Gave him list of 3-4 PSUs to get the one which is available...

Will get the LED Fan and PSU tomorrow in evening or Friday morning... :bananana:

The LED fan would either be of Blue or green color(depending on whats available).. If its green, it goes in front of my CPU and if blue, its in side panel..

I will get another LED Fan once I get next pocket money

C

Nice rig.

BTW Which PSUs have you ordered? How much are those fans going to cost you??

I gave him list to get the one which is available:
FSP Saga II 500W
Corsair VX 450W
Corsair CX 500W v2
CM GX 450W

And the fans are of Rs. 600

I now finally have received the PSU(Cooler Master GX 450W) and the LED Fan(Green).. Some pics:

*dl.dropbox.com/u/31104340/DSC00190.JPG

LED Fan: Rs. 550
GX 450W: Rs. 3450

Total: Rs. 4000..... Now I have to wait longer to get the gaming keyboard and mouse..

I installed the fan(I guess I did it correctly

)... I need help on how to install the PSU....

Congrats Nice pics :))

^^ nice fan, but gx450? :snock: :unsure:

d6bmg said:
^^ nice fan, but gx450? :snock:

Thanks.. and yeah, a GX 450.... according to Piyush, another member here and online reviews, it was sufficient to power my PC..

I actually wanted FSP Saga II 500W Or Corsair VX450W or Tagan Stonerock 500W, but nothing was available other than this, extreme and intex PSUs!!!!

Ain't this enough to power my PC? :unsure:

Congrats, Nipun!

Which LED Fan is that? I mean color...

Thanks...

And I have mentioned that fan is of GREEN color! :))

Addition to my gaming PC's accessories:

Logitech MX518... will post pics soon...

Planning to add G110 soon too

Logitech G110 has only 1 year warranty.Consider Microsoft Sidewinder X6.I am going to purchase X6 soon..... :))

And beware of Rashi Peripheral.

Thanks.. Is x6 having backlit keys?

And I have read about bad service of rashi too.....

How much does it cost in India? Review and site says $80, does this mean around Rs.4000? If so, then I will get it next month from Nehru Place

-ve- Doesn't have
*USB port
*Audio connector

Its around 3.0K

Microsoft Sidewinder X6 Keyboard in India Online. Buy now for Rs.3,162 as on 26th September 2011 - Price, Features, Reviews, Specifications, Photos, Videos | BuyThePrice.com

Nice...
But I dont like its palm rest... with my type of usage I guess it will get eroded(?) very easily.... But when I looked at backlight, my reaction: :shock:

"Thats amazing!"

And the volume control wheel is also nice...

but I will have to try this one before getting it... Now I am waiting to get pocket money.. :))

^^what ever you buy just check on the box that the sticker should not contain "imported by Rashi peripherals".
another dist is also there something savex or safex. Their products also go for RMA in Rashi.
