I managed to make the White CCFL's to work for me the way I wanted.
I placed the two lights on each side of the artwork and wraped steel tape around them so only a
small channel of light would come out. I made this channel face inward toward the
artwork. In order to do this I had a cut a channel in the drive bay cage.
Here is what the finished side looks like.
It actually looks brighter in the pic than it really is. I still need to add a blue light in the upper left hand corner to light up that area, and to light up the front "Must Kill Teddy Bears".
I managed to get all the bezels painted and matched up with the bricks. I stealthed the DVD and
also matched the bezel on the Sunbeam Light bus to the face.
Here you can see how the Teddy along the right of the bezels needs a blue light.
I thought I had this case pretty much wrapped up but the motherboard decided to go "kaput".
I will need to order a new one so while I am at it I am getting a Zalman flower cooler with the blue LED fan. I think the area right next to the big teddys head is a tad dark as well.
Final Update
Well I got the new Mobo, and Blue LEDs installed.
The comp fired up and the text along the Bezels lit up just fine as well. I finished all I really had time for.
Brandon was really jonesing for his PC back so I didn't get to do all the mods on the inside I wanted.
I did install a fake carbon fiber plate along the bottom of the mobo to hide the wires better.
Had I only all the time in money in the world.
I stealthed the dvd drive by cutting off the screw heads and glueing them onto the bezel.
When closed it looks as if it is screwed in like the rest.
This is one of my favorit pics. I love how the text shows up on the wall with the lights on.
Well, that's it. The insides still need a lot of work but I will leave that to Brandon if he chooses to do that. I did get everything out of site and get it as clean as I could. The wires are all sleeved in blue as well so they don't stand out so much if you do see them. With all the lighting going on in there it doesn't really matter. Just another thing for the light to play off of. It's very fun to watch and play with the different modes of lighting are fun to tweak. Brandon gets the biggest kick out of setting them to strobe with the sounds of his MP3's. Ah good times. I hope this mod has inspired you to look at clear cases in a new light. No pun intended.
