    UPDATE 29

    Here we go again! A nice big update to satisfie you all out there I founded out that it's going to take a lot of time to treat all the plexi well and solder the more than 200 leds!

    First supllies!


    Graphic LCD


    It doesn't work yet because some wires came lose during the transporting. But I'll fix that at the end.

    Plexiwork! To create some depth in the case, am I using more ''layers'' of plexie and ALu. So I made a big logo for on the window.


    Result. It rained when I was cutting so you see some rain


    Then some shiny stuff! Why do I use this and don't polish the whole stuff?

    -This is far more lighter. I'm using 2 mm ALu. It becomes a sandwich of 2mm ALu + 5mm plexie + 2 mm ALu which would result in a 9mm thick panel! A bit overdone.
    -This is far more less work.
    -It gives me the same effect.
    -It's replecable. When there will be some scratches on it, I can just remove it and put some new stuff one it.
    -You've got everywhere the same result.

    The bad side:
    -It's expensive
    -It's hard to get right
    -It's hard to photograve

    Altough the die-hard modders maybe would go for polishing, will there also be a lot of them who think: Hey! That isn't as bad as it sounds! At least, I hope you do

    Just begin.


    With the protective firm still on it. This will be removed with case-assembly.


    Then some leds!


    Results!


    On the case




    The leds are even so bright that they shine trough the firm! I've got a solution for that though.

    Next I made a mock up for the front. But dind't made any pics from the results


    Then I atteched the new and fresh mobo-tray. Forgotten that in the last update trough all the excitment.


    Toen aftekenen waar plexie moest komen.


    More plexi.




    And another little piece


    I just skip some photo's because I think you'll al know how I treatend it So here I'm bussy with leds again.


    Turn it on!


    This is the backplate btw. As you see, I'm trying to get details everywhere.

    And also made the mesh fit.




    Also bought some wire. Just cheap speaker-wire but it works briljantly for all those leds.


    That's it again! See you next time and thanks for reading
    In all of it's glory!

    I hadn't realized it but our resident artist imagispire whipped up several banners for you so here they are, do with them as you wish.

    Nice LED work!

    Maybe you should think about running them in groups thru potentiometers. That way you could control the brightness..

    Just a thought...
