I was so proud of myself. It only took a total of 24 hours to do all of my mods. without soldering, power tools or previous experience. used small screw drivers for drills. pumpkin carving tools to cut out peices. if you wanna see what all i did just go here.

did u trace and cut with a straight edge by any chance?

because if you did you did waste a lot of energy

that is unless you had the miracle drink COFFEE!

My only guess for the led, is that he ran wires from the PSU to the led and perhaps taped the wires to the led and then taped the led in place?

Actually for the led's i wrapped the wire around the contacts i needed then covered them with electrical tape.

i'll get some pics of the inside in a little bit.

Where did you get the original last two pics of the planned DC paintjob? I have a third spare DC that i want to paint but i want to see how it would turn out using the color scheme i have planned. Also what did you use to paint in the pics? I have Adobe photoshop which is what i'll most likely use, but i just want to know what you used.

I used a program called paint shop pro and their magic wand tool.

hope that helps
