Thanks man!


So here is another little update. I worked for probably 8 hours on this thing on Saturday. In my last post I said that I got my toggle switches in from Germany....so Now I had to design my wiring schematics. it took some time to design and then figure out where all the wires were going to go so they could be sleeved/hidden.

I took advantage if the 4 WC holes in the back and thats where I put the toggle switches. The were a bit to small for the holes so I had to make some plates with the correct size holes in it for the toggles to fit better.

back to the toggles, when I dumped them out of the back, out fell 6 toggle switches and a bag of german gummy bears!!! SCORE!





They tasted just like american gummy bears! pretty cool of the seller to throw them in!

So here are a few pics of teh toggles.






Now a bit more modding. In order to use the hole closest to the door, it conflicted with the long cross brace. So I had to cut/bend out a section for the toggle switch to fit.





It work out because there are a few holes in the brace for whos knows what, that I wanted to fill in because a ccfl was going there and it shined through which I didnt like, now I had some space to attach a cover!

Next was making the mouting plates for the toggles. I had to make one for the inside as well as the outside. Here is tghe template for teh inside



And both pieces cut out of 1/8" black acrylic.





Installed. I was in a rush making them and the outer piece is a bit off square. which is ok, because I am going to remake it but out of the diamond plate aluminum.....to tie it into the false plates in the case. it will stand out more too.







So here was the beginning of my crazy mess of wirres to get the switches connected to all the lights...

....and before I get ahead of myself, here is my lights.

4 x 12" UV CCFL's (2 x sets)
2 x UV CCFL Fan lights (1 set)
5 x El Wire Sata cables. (4 blue and 1 green)

the CCLF each have their own switch for a total of 3 and all the EL sata wires are tied into one switch.

Designing this "circuit" of wires was a major pain and long thought process. here is the scehmatics I drew up.



so here is where I started. First is the 12v Power and a ground wire for the LED. The toggles had 3 prongs on them. 2 for grounds and one for power.



Nexit you can see the black and red cable....the red connects to the opposite of teh 12v power then goes into the CCFL inverter box then out therough the black wire to the ground to make a complete circuit.

The black wire in the top left of the screen goes to the front of my rig for the el sata wire inverter boxes.



Close up





Now this is the el sata wire inverter boxes...them back of them anyway. I used double sided sticky foam that came with them, to attach them all together. then I super glued the little back panels on because they fall off alot!



Front of the El Sata Inverter Boxes



The wires aer pulled out to sow how they look.



And now they are hidden, just need to secure them in place.





and here is the finished wire thingy-ma-bob.

Back of the rig, turned off.



Turned on with the lights on

Turned on with the lights off.






I have just a tiny little more to go of organizing the wires then the false plates get installed.

Here is a little bit of the wire organization



I have to make another false wall of sorts to hide one of the CCFL's next to the Drive tower. Lots of people put a CCFL there...but I dont want to see it when I am looking into the case. So I am putting a small wall there to hide it. More about that in the next update.

Peace out!
