Constructive critisism and suggestions are proper etiquette please, this is a better post thebeep, but the one in vixstar's was not needed nor helpful.

olie, not too shabby for your first mod, do some more research to learn what other mods you will be capable of! Keep up the good work! :toast:

Thankyou everyone for the kind comments. I got the cold cathodes at Maplin Electronics (I live in the UK), I dont know if maplin have stores in other parts of the world. If not im sure you will find them at a half decent computer shop. aven000. Thsnks for the comment, i just switched to Mac as my mobile soloution recently and its great. Main reason for switchin was windows taking an age to boot up and very poor battery life about 1 1/2 hours. My Macbook Fixes both those problems. However I cant get away from windows on my portable soloution, because my school states you should have windows!! ahh, vmware sorted it out and its really fast. Kursah Thanks every so much for the kind comments, i need to do some major cable management, Im think of a top window in the future to go at the top inbetween dvd drives and power supply, new graphics card on its way, and in the long run my old style IDE 300Gb Hard drive needs to be updated to a SATA model. Anyhow intill My Next Post Thanks Everyone
