Mini PC Modding Project - Final Phase
Last night I removed all the hardwares from inside the cpu so that I could do the drilling the next morning without damaging the costly components. Six 6mm holes were drilled onto the bottom of the chassis to install the ultra blue LEDs. The circuit is simple: six sets of LED in series with a 100 ohm resistor paralled together. The circuit is soldered onto a manual pcb then it is conveniently inserted into one of the PCI slots on the motherboard(pcb and PCI pins were cleverly isolated with a plastic sheet).
The following are different views of my first pc modding project...

6underneath the table, the LED lights looked like bright blue udders, haha, beautiful though

6what it looks like inside the cpu(notice the brown pcb & blue switch)
