When I carry my iBook to work, I've also got enough stuff in my backpack with it to add up to about a stone in weight. (logic would dictate that I should lose some of the other stu…

Then dont put it in your backpack. It has a handle for a reason, ya know.

I would, but I live in the UK. It rains a lot. There's a subject for a new Mac mod topic. "Waterproofing you Mac !"

In an effort to cool my already hot chip, I want to get some more fans. I'm thinking that 2 up above my iMac's monitor, blowing up, would help. Possibly some more fans in the bot…

Y cables? bah, do it how a real man does it. Tape the wires of the smaller fan onto the negative/positive connectors of the 6 volt terminals and a more powerful fan on the 12V conn…

TAPE the wires?!? Why not use solder? >shrugs< Anyway, where are these 12 and 6 volt terminals? I have no clue where to find them. Any help? Ca$h

Kinda hard to disconnect it if you soldier the thing Anyways, the connector has colored wires leading to it, on mine, they are red/blac/black/yellow. The two blacks are positive…

yellow is 12v and red is either 5 or 6v

My iMac mouse is complete! 3 green LEDs to complement its colour, one in the dome, and two on the bottom around each side of the button... im so proud btw: if you two want …

Cool! I did mine too, although I only used one led. I was a little miffed when I saw the iMac commercial with the light up mouse, and then found out they really didn't light!I foun…

a bit of solder, a steady hand, a little whiskey....oops....heh heh, hey, wtf! it works, damn i'm good

well heres a diagram that should explain it all: There it is... if u need any help feel free to email me!!! (BTW: this procedure requires that you cut peices of the plastic ca…

Ok, you used the smae power points as I did. I was wondering if you had used others close to where the LEDs were located. I like it. Nice job.

Hell, not bad! Is it safe. Noooo, not for the User, for the Mac. Can you all explain how to tie it in with the power etc.

oh yea its safe... it just draws power off the +5Volt lines on the USB bus... in fact u can put LEDs in any USB device similarly... I used pin one and pin four (from left to right…

heres a pic of it in the dark: [This message has been edited by sine -''-..- (edited 04-04-2000).]

Cool, If you put the three LED's in series (daisy-chained) you probably don't need the resistor, but Ten-Out-Of-Ten for being cautious and acting responsibly Sh1t, I'm starting…

Hey! Be nice, damn you! Anyway, I couldn't resist adding the other to LEDs on to my mouse. I did manage to do it without cutting any plastic. I did have to move them closer togethe…

nice thinking... drat, now i must make it even more spectacular.... i need a lazer LED now... or an indiglo array.....

oh yes.... 5 LEDs in a V formation... picture will be posted shortly... [This message has been edited by sine -''-..- (edited 04-04-2000).]

How about neon lights inside the iMac? Has anyone tried this yet?

whoa good idea... a bit bright tho....

5 LEDs in v formation? Ha! Mere childs play. I just took the big bulb from the local light house and installed it in my mouse. Sure, it required some slight mods, and it won't work…

LoL
