This project is something I under took over the Holiday break during my first year in college. I had so much free time, we had a little over six weeks off due to my exam schedule. This mod included a lot of cold cathodes used in the front grill, neon electroluminescent wire around the case windows and on the underside of the case, Orbital Matrix display with 4 GPO's used to control the lights vis software (more on that later), and a small 4:3 800x600 VGA LCD screen.
Computer Specifications:
Motherboard: Soyo KT600 Dragon Plus V1.0 Socket A
CPU: AMD Athlon Socket A 1 Ghz
Memory: Mushkin 2x256MB DDR
Video Card: GeForce 4 Ti 4600
Hard Drive: 73.4GB Seagate Cheetah x15 10,000RPM
Optical Drive 1: Plextor CDRW
Optical Drive 2: Pioneer Slot Load
SCSI Adapter: Adaptec
This is a video I shot with my crappy webcam that shows the lights reacting to music through a simple winamp plugin I wrote, later I made a visual basic based app that controlled the lights with toggle buttons.
See! The side door fits just fine! |
Here is a shot of the 4:3 VGA LCD |
