Nice mod Beemer! I think you should have left the alarm functional though. THAT would be great! Ever get home from work and say "I'll just go on-line and play ONE game"? Next thing you know, it's 3am and you need to get up for work in a couple of hours. I hate it when that happens!  |

...but there is such a thing as an ELD, for ElectroLuminescent Display. These things use a phosphor sandwiched between transparent conducting electrodes. Not as bright as LEDs, but a lot cheaper -- and they're typically what are used in cheap alarm clocks. |

But of course, if I have 3 alarm clocks and only one has been in use since 1975, and the other 2 were free from some promo in the past. It was cheaper to destroy one of the dust gatherer's. It's just about time to build a new machine and of course, use the remaining alarm clock digital display. I think it'll look good in a new Lian Li case, tastfully modified.
Recycled And Free!
Cheers! |

Not that I'm aware of. If you're talking about the way I mounted my clock, just cut out the bay cover plate to accomadate your display panel. If you're going to do it with an alarm clock display panel, figure where you want the hour/minute adjustment buttons and very tediously carve out your holes to fit.
Check the reach distance of the wiring from the buttons to the display panel mount.
I left the power the way it was so I had to mount the transformer thingy on the back of the case. It heats up so I thought it would be better left outside the case. It had screw holes that matched a serial knock out on the back of the case.
Not much to it really. Take a look at the first page of threads and you will see some of the extraction hurdles in images.
Cheers! |
