Ahh yes updates
Well I have not been doing anything super exciteing as of late, all wiring. But let's
show what I have so far.
First of all I got a new Weller soldering station, WOOOHOOO for new toys
So I had to take my input panel back apart,
Then I had to make my USB cables. Due to a lack on USB headers but an abundance of USB ports on the motherboard I decided to make some tails for my USB ports.
I have made so far 3 of the 4 I need.
Also I started work on relocating some parts of the Speaker AMP I will be using in this mod. The speakers in the IMAC case are some really nice Harmon Kardon speakers, but they need to be powered. So I took the amp out of an old set of defunct speakers I had at the shop. I was going to relocate both the volume switch and the power switch, but I have since changed my mind. I am only relocating the volume pot. As seen below...
And also, not related to the mod, but this took up some of my free time this week...
Our secretary wanted a new computer case with a door. We had a but ugly metallic green one she could have for free, so she wanted it painted. This is the final result.
The paintjob is actually alot better than it looks in the picture, and in person it is the same color as a shiney new penny. (Not that it is any better than the green)
Anyway, I should have some more in a couple days. Troy says he will have my LED's wired up in a day or two, so we will see
Thanks for looking,
