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.
I can see it, a fire waiting to happen. I need to pull out the other 2 pins left in each molex connector from the wires I snipped, if not, I will probably get shocked next time I touch the molex. I can foresee it in my future...if I don't take the pins out.
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
Really cool thread. I have had some really Ghetto rigged things in previous builds, just never took the time to take pictures. Its pretty funny thinking about them tho, cuz they worked for along time.

So here is the end result:
Yup, now that is ghetto ^^^^^^^
Post em up!!
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.

All I did was cut off the male molex from the cables, that's it and wow MOPAR O_O I don't know where to start
Damn some of these are just Sloppy not Ghetto...... But lol at this thread, keep em coming.
