I use two large sheets of white foam core board, and two large sheets of black foam core board for lighter colored hardware. I use two 500W halogen lights (not necessary but they are what I have) and aim them up at a white ceiling. Pics turn out great. Photoshop helps too. I love using "Auto adjust" and "Auto color", though sometimes auto color doesn't work and you have to adjust color balance manually.

will the 500W light help if you have a camera with a bad flash & you dont want to spend $60 on it to get fixed. Just wondering.

the better light quality on the outside of the box with a sheet blocking direct light will reduce glare on the product
a good camera with a good flash is nice but it wont give you the perfect look every time location and surrounding lighting is a big key
also think about pc parts and how shiney most are you dont want to use direct flash and light
it should be done by this sunday if all goes to plan
