Little Mod to the Monitor ?

Cptnyr · May 13, 2009

Inspired me to try this myself....i like the blue more i think it "pops" a little more than the green..

and im jealous you have those 3 monitors are they all the same?

I actually have 4.

But not all connected to my rig.

My rig has the 2 19" monitors at 1440x900. There is also a 19" 720p widescreen TV and my 1280x800 17" laptop screen

If you can find a 12v (and at least 3w) powersupply to connect to the wall, you can "build" your own power source. Then connect them to the driver unit and power up the CCFL..
Myself I use 5 ultra bright LED's connected to a rechargeable batterypack from a cordless phone and an on/off switch - works great.

for about 80 bucks you can get mini ITX power supplies which are nothing more than a PCB with a plug on it. It will have molex and 3 pin plugs on it.

I dont remember off hand how much power cathods drain but you can always buy a USB plug and wire it to the power of the cathod (I have seen this done with other things before, so I know you can do it)

yea. mood lighting is win!

Is there anyway to possibly wire it into the monitor?

I think so, the typical LCD monitor has +12V(for the HV cathode inside) and +5V for the
digital controls and the main LCD strip,

basically I used my HD caddy. Works well. Just wondering if that HD caddy is enough though. It uses a 12v supply so I assume its ok. Going to fix my sound module and try that xD

Edit: Processing done
