I know there is a stick up there, but I can't really find what I am looking for.. I have never modded my case much (but I want to just add some stuff).. Where would I be able to buy some nice LED's like in many of the articles on this site? (In the USA!) I wanted to put some LED's across the bottom front of my case to light it up a bit. So please list any sites you know of (or retail stores in the US!) Thanks.
Welcome to the boards mate... if you'd be so good as to wait but a few more moments I'm sure one of our American members will 'deal' with you Cheers, r.
Local Radio Shack (Expensive) if you don't want to order online. If you don't mind online, go to bgmicro.com
Thanks. I will try the online site, I am not a big fan of Radio Shack (But at least I can go there if I need to). Thanks again. Being a n00b and all... I have no clue what to get at bgmicro. I am looking at http://bgm.bgmicro.com/newsearch.asp?page=1&cri=LED&stype=2 - What can I get from there that would allow me to string lights horizontally accross parts of the front of my case? (I am just trying to put them across spaces where I don't have drives) Any help would be greatly apreciated
Welcome to the boards! Between these links you ought to be able to acheive LED nirvana: http://bgm.bgmicro.com/ http://www.hosfelt.com/Leds/led1.htm http://www.allelectronics.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?category=340&type=store Resist the urge to go to Radio S*ack. I would be inclined to order some of those LED modules at BGMicro--they've been removed from highway signs, so you know they're bright.
Thanks for all the great links. One other thing though.. What would I use to extend that light across something? Similar to that glow wire at crazypc, but there must be a way to get the same result cheaper, is there?
You can usually find cheap electroluminescent wire at Target if you have one, or a little less cheap at auto parts stores. so-trickcomputers.com will sell you complete kits too, including some that are longer than I've seen before.
Damn, the town next to me just shot down a proposed target store.. Thanks everyone for yours posts! *edit* btw, www.trickcomputers.com doesn't work!
linear - they have it at target? ive looked in their store and online, all i can find is ropelights, no EL wire. cant find it. i would love it if they did have it as i dont have a creditcard so online orgers are tricky.
Well, my Target had it last time I was in there. Previously they didn't--I keep an eye out for stuff like that when shopping. Try an auto parts place.
I've been to America twice and drove past Target quite a lot of times. I thought it was a gun related shop or shooting range.
We need to set up an exchange - the US n33333ds a Maplin's, and the UK is missing so much by not having Target :--) Gordon
