New mod coming really sooooooooon.

Still collecting all the hardware, modding parts/stuffs that I need.
Planning to buy some tools... and hopefully borrow some.
( hint hint verz)
Instead of creating a new thread then abandon it for a month or so, I decided to put it here first.

Old old old, 8-year-old P3 case.


Emptied




Flattened


Hmm... not sure when I'll be able to mod this full time.
But I've already had big plans, written down ideas and drawn sketches.
Best kept unknown for I'm still dreaming about certain things.

Concepts and plans have yet to be finalized cos I'm unsure if I can get all the things I need...

Cannot find the items I need and haven't even get my quotation for some items even after long wait.

Got a new case and done some minor add-ons.

I'm back with my little mods.


First up will be a DIY custom length sata power cable.
Firtly, you'll need 2 or more 90degree connectors. 90degree connectors don't need those pins, so they already ease the job alot.

Push in the end of the wires into the first connector.

To not have the hassle of measuring the distance of the second connector, plug the connector into the optical drive/hdd and push in the first wire. You can continue working inside or if you prefer to take it out it's also ok.


Once done, you'll have something like this. Then you can either sleeve it up nicely or leave it.


Job done.




Result:




The next little mod is the molex light.
The items that you'll need. (My molex is originally black, so I'll need a white one.)


And since I'm poor and can't afford more stuffs, I have to do it this way.
Chopped off the large LED to become small and flat.
You can skip this part by getting smd LEDs or smaller LEDs.


Solder the LED and the resistor onto the right place (make sure to use a correct resistor depending on what LED you use and which pins you solder it on). Slip them into the molex along with the pins.

And the result. (the blue in real isn't as bright as it is in picture.)
