Cold Cathode Switch

sw0nald · 10-September-03, 09:46 PM

I'm just curious as to where everyone puts the switch for their cold cathode lights

Cow · 10-September-03, 09:56 PM

2 of them mounted in one of the 3.5" bay covers

as of right now there inside the case but soon they will be in a floppy bay

I put mine right where the flip cover for the USB ports are on my case...of course I took the USB ports out. I am using a rocker switch right now, but if I can get ahold of a cheap flip switch I'll put that in to make things easier. Just make sure everything is insulated...having a switch connector touching your case would not be good. I say this from experience too

I used a rotary on off switch and placed it right next to my three rheostats on my DIY baybus. It has the same knob as my rheos, so it looks like four of the same.

heres where mine is

I chopped out the USB Pannel from the front of my case and mounted the switch behind the door

sw0nald , I did the same thing, except my panel wasn't deep enough , so I had to take the door off completely. Whatever suits your taste is where you wind up mounting the switch

I got another question about everyones cold cathodes

instead of making a new thread and spam the whole board Ill just put it in here.

So how long does everyone leave their lights on for ?
Do you leave them on over night too ?

(I just got my 1st light 2 days ago incase anyones wondering where all these newbie questions are coming from

)

Since I dont leave my box on all night, no. I only turn it on when there are ppl around. I have 6 Cooler Master Quad Blue Led 80mm Case fans so they light my box up pretty well.

Personal preference. When using my comptuers I like to have them all nice and Purty! However, sometimes when It's late at night, I don't want to have all that Blue Light, so I turn them off.
