I have since cleaned up my wiring a bit more and my room has been re-arranged and will be again when I (hopefully) get my new desk, Ikea Jerker.

Nice but I think you need a Broom also.

Hey guys, today I'm going to show you have simple and easy it is to install lighting mods in your system. Ready? Lets get started.

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU PSU IS UNPLUGGED OR TOGGLED TO THE OFF POSITION BEFORE YOU BEGIN!

Things you will need:

1 or 2 cathodes

1 cathode controller

1 screw driver

double sided sticky tape

1 screw

1 empty PCI slot (not and actual slot just the space for it).

and about 30 minutes time.

Cost

About $20 for a kit with 2 cathodes, 1 controller, 1 panel, + sticky tape.

Picture Explanation:

1) Packaging Front.

2) Packaging Back (15,000 hours life! 1500 / 24 (hours in a day) = 625 days of life or approx. 1.71 years.)

3) Our 2 cathodes.

4) Our controller and our panel.

5) This is how we are going to plug our wires into our controller later on.

6) Things required to get started.

7) Place your panel into the empty desired PCI slot.

8) Secure the panel in place by scewing it in with provided screw or one of your own.

9) This is how it should look after your panel is installed.

10) Find a good place to put your controller inside your case (this can be ANYWHERE) just make sure your cathode wires and power wire is going to reach this unit.

11) Now that we have found a good spot for our controller get your double sided sticky take. It should look like this.

12) Now place the tape in the center or the controller firmly.

13) Plece the controller firmy down in the place your have deceided, it should look something like this. (sorry for the lack of picture, but after this plug in the molex connector (power plug))

14) Place stick tape on the two ends on the cathode just like you did with your controller unit. Then place it in your desired location.

15) Cathode installed on the bottom.

16) Cathode installed on the side.

17) When you are done *and if you used good wire management* you should barely be able to see your new installment. (with the lights on of course :p )

18) This is how it should look with your lights off! :punk:

19) Again

20) And AGAIN! :woot: (now take that bad boy to some LAN Parties and show it off!)

21) VIDEO (277k) of how the cathodes react to sound (with the panel and controller)

Well I hope you guys enjoyed my little guide (I would have placed it in essential guides but it's more of a modders thing). Anyway, good luck and keep on modding and overclocking ;) (Y)

None at all, Its all pretty self contained, you get seal string to put around the cpu housing to keep it all contained, The cooling head runs at about -34 most of the time, The temp diode on this mobo is underneath the cpu http://homepage.ntlworld.com/voodoo.mchale1/Temp.jpg and it tends to keep the cpu well under 0 degrees, Its also fairly quiet :) Definatly recommend getting one.

Here's a few pictures of my rig. It's a Lian Li PC6277B Aluminium Watercooling case (PSU sucks in air from the top, and there's a place for a 120mm radiator in the top too, both covered with a airfilter) I'm gonna mount a 120mm radiator in the top that sucks air in, and one in the rear that sucks air out, both with SilenX 14dB fans. Also have a 11dB SilenX 80mm fan infront of the HDD's that blows air in. 2 Sunbeam 30cm UV Cathodes mounted in top/bottom.

Haven't mounted my watercooling yet, still waiting for my GPU block that is delayed, so the cables and stuff aint really place too nicely..

    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
