    Had some problems switching all the leds in my desk by one Bulgin momentary led switch.
    All the leds are connected to a bitspower X-station.

    The user "Calimero" @ the highflow forum fixed it for me ^^
    I'm to impatient for this work.
    He's been busy with it for quite some hours.

    With this print i can switch this :

    one 5V line
    one 12V line
    the led in the bulgin switch

    This bulgin led is on a current feed now, so switching from blue (3.5V) to, for example, Red (1.8V) is no problem at all, the current will remain the same


    So thanks to Calimero !

    Finally a dream came true

    [​IMG]


    Removing films, i love it !

    [​IMG]


    Eeny, meeny, miny, moe ...

    [​IMG]


    Took me only 10 minutes to switch the old one with the new one.
    Changing the old DVI cable to a new Dual link DVI cable took me more time.
    Need this cable cause of the higher resolution.

    [​IMG]


    Very useful, i could start using it right away for the pics of this update.

    [​IMG]


    Bling

    [​IMG]


    And time for a little test ..
    It really looks fabulous !

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]


    Maybe i won't be the last now anymore

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]


    Still a lot to configure, but already looks awesome.

    [​IMG]


    And ready to go on again

    [​IMG]

    All i want now is another Dell 17"

    Got a nice package today ^^

    Some guy named Wwwicked i know from the Highflow forums creates selfmade ledstrips.

    We were both curious how they would look in the desk.

    First of all, very professional wwwicked !

    Specially for him double resolution pics :)

    [​IMG]


    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    25 and 90 degree leds

    [​IMG]

    Small update.

    Thanks Freddy !
    Without Highflow this wouldn't have been possible :p !

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]


    Wanted to connect the extra ssd when i had 10 minutes spare time, but ...
    Both multilane cables i had connected were full :(
    So had to drain the loop AGAIN so i could add an extra multilane specially for the ssd :)

    [​IMG]


    Still need to think of something to make it look better.

    [​IMG]


    Very satisfied with the speed, i guess i can't get more out of it cause of the iop341 limitations.

    After 3 weeks of mailing with Asus, Highflow and EKWB, finally some pics for you guys.

    After building this in im ready with the hardware part, and hope to finally enjoy a game

    Off course it still needs to be powdercoated in mat black in the coming weeks/months.
    I hope to finish off this project then.

    I specially want to thank :

    Freddy en colleagues
    Milan en colleagues
    Gregor and colleagues
