Well I could not find a thread dedicated to only posting what you have ghetto rigged, so I thought I would make my own. Post any ghetto cabling, ghetto fan mods, ghetto electrical tape jobs, ghetto holes and lights. ANYTHING GHETTO!!!

I will start this off. I wanted to really declutter my cathode wires so what I did was I just straight up cut off the male molex (since CCFL kits always have a male and female molex) and then i wrapped it all in electrical tape (I will sleeve it later, don't feel like it now.

So here is the end result:





Yup, now that is ghetto ^^^^^^^
Post em up!!

Back when I was sleeving my PSU...

Put the sleeving up on a coat hanger hanging off a push-pin holding a ski resort map. Ghetto. Lol.





My room was very messy and ghetto looking at this time.

INFO UPDATE:

as to recent questions regarding the white cable terminals i used, they are called European Terminals, mostly because i grew up in germany is why i prefer to use those, i dont like the US style ones that are bare metal and not shielded... get googling on where to get em

All of my fans are held on with zip ties. That's about the extent of my ghetto at the moment.

I do have a ghetto-as-hell DVD drive around here. I took the drive out of a DVD player, popped a housing and bezel on it and stuck it in my machine.

Can you explain step by step how you did that? It is very annoying to use a connector. I heard someone done a inverter that can power 4 cathodes at the same time but used a bigger box. I don't know how people do that. I keep thinking a fan controller switch is easier lol.
