Dremeling the hole for the rear case fan switch.

Stil dremeling.

Hole finished!

Dremeled a hole for the lighting button, and added it.

Nick drawing a smiley face on the cover plate.

Dremeling out the smiley face so LEDs can be inserted.

Smiley face LEDs inserted into cover plate.

The cluster of wires behind the cover. (Yes it's messy, but it works! It's called the Frankenbox for a reason!)

Stripping a wire to connect power to the smiley face.

The bottom case fan (keeps the video card cool). Yes, that's cardboard and twine.

Soldering a wire.

The finished product. Powered by a single molex connector, the 12V goes to the fan and the 5V goes to the LEDs, filtered with a resistor. The 9V clips are to allow the front plate to be detachable and swappable.

Connecting the mod together with Nick looking in the front of the case.

Installing the mod. (Broke a wire and had to do some re-soldering.)

Still installing the mod.

Testing out the computer with the new mods!
