For a project I've got now, I need to wire up a few blue LEDs, approximately 10 to 15. However, these aren't going to be connected to a computer, so what would be the best way to power them? What sort of life expectancy could be had from a few AA batteries?
What I have now are 7 5mm 4k ~5k...
Normal fan screws, the ones that come with the fans, screw right into those holes. They screw in and tap the hole at the same time. Of course you don't have to use them. I've always found hex head screws to look nice on fans.
Edit: Well never mind this then >_>
Wow. I go away for a while and you finished it. Actually finished the Batman mod... I'm amazed. And those other paintjobs are just astounding. Great work, man.
You know those plate things that cover the PCI slots on your case? Use a couple of them to make your own HD brackets. I used them on my last case and it worked fine.
I saw this case the other night at CompUSA, and after seeing it online for so long, I was surprised at how flimsy the door was. The magnet that holds it shut is pretty weak, too.
No matter what, get some locking casters and handles. And get something that you don't mind getting scratched.
It's running linux, and as far as I know, CPUZ runs on windows. At least, it did four or five years ago (the last time I used it :/)
As far as I can tell, it's an AMD Athlon running at 1.4ghz. I think it's a barton, but I'm not 100% certain.
Your guess is as good as mine. When it comes to linux I'm one step above "bull in a china shop". I haven't actually tried it yet. You can PM if you want, but it's probably going to be a few weeks before I do anything.
Thanks to everyone else for the replies. I'm going to go ahead and lower...
I'm going to be moving my server computer from it's current housing over to a HTPC case, and unfortunately, cooling is an issue with all htpc cases. It's going to be an issue with this because it's going in my entertainment center, and will probably have a limited airflow.
The computer...
I'm not sure why you would want to put anything in front of it. I think it looks good like it is. Or maybe throw in a good number of cables coming from it to get a techy look to it.
I see your point, but it's going to be around $5 to buy the caps. The investment isn't that big, and the labor time will help me kill the boredom that's been plaguing me. If it's still fried, oh well.
I guess since I'm having trouble finding 1500uF, I should go with something higher, then...
