Heres an easy mod that looks good.
An illuminated vandal proof switch from maplins and a 4 wire cable that came with my sound card.
Solder/twist the 4 wires to the button. It should be marked with + and -
Plug it into the mobo. Done. No resistors or anything else required.

Heres my P160. Eventually got my window from IT Direct. "Yea we'll call you when it comes in" Lieing BASTARDS!!! Kept me waiting 2 weeks
Home made carry strap. Got it in the garden center in Atlantic €13
There are 2 clear plastic strips under the cd drive front panels. Will get a couple of blue LEDs for them.
Not crazy about the yellow sleeving on the PSU. Will change to either green or blue though UV blue is not that common.0 -

I really like your mod pity you cant see the box but maybe thats better in some ways. Its nice and and well taught out only thing that would concern me is the heat factor. And I like the vandal proof power switch I might just get me one :P
oh that switch wasnt your idea

Buy all my mods on the internet. Even with shipping its cheaper.
That vandal switch was for my nephews PC. I ment to put it on mine but never got around to it. I cant put it on the p160.
Heat? See the 25 on the display? Thats CPU temp. The case runs at 23C.
P4 2.4 running at 3ghz. The green tubing is watercooled CPU, Vid and Northbridge. 120mm stealth fans front and back handle the rest0 -

Prosta you are looking at the fan on the side of the case(80mm). See the clear fan at the back with lights, that is a 120mm fan. Its monstrous, very powerful but im afraid is not that silent. Have it connected to mobo but cannot throttle speed down. Case has 2 by 120mm fans one at the front and one at the back. Beware can make the room very cold and may suck in small children and pets LOL

Ya the clear 120mm fan at the back with the LEDs - did it come with the case? If not then where?
Get yourself a fan controller (like mine) They are the biz. They only dim the leds a little on the lowest setting.
And if were compairing sizes mine (P160 above) is taller and longer but not as wide. We all know its girth thats important (snigger)

syxpak: I ordered from them (frozencpu)when I was in the states. I paid about $12 for shipping. USPS are *huge* over there, and are great(IMO). They took 2 days to deliver my parcel.
Now, obviously them shipping to ireland will be more expensive, longer and so on. 0 -
They are the American National postal service, similar to An Post - but these guys get things done!FuzzyLogic wrote:syxpak: I ordered from them (frozencpu)when I was in the states. I paid about $12 for shipping. USPS are *huge* over there, and are great(IMO). They took 2 days to deliver my parcel.

Go for the USPS Global Express Mail which gives a tracking number and is here within 3-5 days (usually 3). But parcels are handled here by SDS, who will charge Duty, Tax etc + a fee by them, COD.
Remember tax etc is charged on the cost of the goods (shown on box) + the cost of the shipping. eg $200 goods + $35 shipping = $235 on which tax is charged.
Just something to keep in mind when ordering.0 -

Sweet setup Striker. Not sure about he car
Re: USPS - I sent some sunglasses to the US to be repaired. 14 months later they arrived. Just got a call from them last Friday :eek: Id blame An Post but their tracking went as far as leaving the country only, which is a fuppin useless service.
Finished that Jim Fitzpatrick pic I was doing on the right side panel. (post #168)
Only took a day & 1/2 once I got going.
