Stuck a cathode in my shuttle

[megah0]

And i think it looks quite nice!

Looks nice.

I got two 4" cathodes in mine, looks pretty much the same cept its a SN41G2.

[megah0]

Yup there are 2 but the other side looks pretty much the same.

4" cathodes.

They do put out a fair bit of heat though.

[Rabs]

Get that drive stealthed asap!

[megah0]

Better?

[Rabs]

Yep much

What happened to your original drive bay cover though?

[megah0]

[XTR]

SV24





SS51G




they dont work quite as well on the SB52G2 / Reflexion!

[ekundo]

where did you stick them inside?

[megah0]

vertically at the front of the unit, the inverter sits at the rear on the piece of chassis between the optical drive and the back of the unit.

Cool io

I used one of those 3 LED jobbies on mine. Very subtle and even shines thru ICE. However yours does look pretty sweet. Still have not cut off grill on mine tho...

I thought they were supposed to be COLD cathodes? Do they really kick out much heat? Cos anymore and I think my Shuttle is going to melt.

I was going to do something similar, but I often leave the PC on when I'm asleep and I was concerned the bl00 light might keep me awake. That said, it couldnt be any more distracting than the ultra-bright bl00 power LED on the front and the annoying flashing bl00 LED on my bluetooth dongle.

[megah0]

i have a switch to turn them off

[MAS]

Genius!

Where does it sit? and do you have to wire it in?

[megah0]

See that little black dongle at the rear? Thats the switch and it came built in I could hide it better but tbh its fairly unobtrusive.

need to be careful feeding the wires through the back plate though, I put them through the little flap that covers the top of the PCI slots.
