    took like 10 min to wire it all 2gether:

    Supplies list:
    Lazer LED
    Foam tape
    bulk wire
    hot wired PSU


    i used a rubber foot(typically used for like bottoms of cases and such, and poked the switch thro so it would be like a ring to hold teh switch where i needed it

    yes, but can you explain how you have wire'd it up.

    I've looked inside my ps2 and didnt see anywhere I could hook anything up.

    He means that he has used a PSU from his Computer to power it.

    by hotwired he means a PSU that has been modified to start without the motherboard simply by taking a paperclip and sticking in the green hole in the ATX connector coming from the psu and stick the other end of the paperclip in a black wire...this will allow you to turn the PSU on without the mobo lol dont try this im not sure if this correct...ure gonna have to ask someone more experienced lol

    its kinda like Hot wireing a car... u start the car WITHOUT the key
    in this case the car is the PSU and the Key is the Mobo

    if u ever plan to just power a cathode or so from a ps2 itself.. Ben_999 has some excellent mods on any of his consoles..

    Go to PS2 page and scrolll down a little bit.. it shows a picture where u can get 12v and ground from the ps2 psu
