Amazing work

btw, do you still use Dremel for any of the cuts? Which bit do you use (if that's not your trade secret )?

Default Update: 09.19.08

Trimming the fat.

I took some time to pare down the wiring and to eliminate the lighting switches on the CCFL lights, painted the inverter housings and sleeve all the wiring:


The third inverter is for the single (I may add the second lighting tube) CCFL that is mounted in the tube below the motherboard.





Took 3 sets of these:



...and kept only these parts:







When re-doing wiring that involves splicing I like to solder the connections. There are any number of ways that are effective, but this is the manner that I have found to work well for me:

A "3rd hand" is always a welcome addition:




Although the tension in the clips is not enough to break the insulation I still like to clamp on the metal portions:




Then:







Note: Heat the work, not the solder.

A small piece of heatshrink works well for insulation. Also I stagger the breaks in the wiring to ensure that a short will not occur, and to prevent the "boa-constrictor" look of potential bulges in the line.




Sleeved and ready to illuminate:




note: It is advisable to check that the lighting works periodically throughout the process.


...and I am still sanding and shaping the rear panel ... my thumb hurts (wah!)

I hope you realize that Bro-mance can induce delirium, hysterical girlish laughter and a lack of funds the night after...

Not to mention jealousy...from wimmen
