Sawtooth part 1

This article contains several different mods all done on the same machine. Some have been seen before, and some have not. The time span for all these mods was almost 6 months from when i first got this G4 until now. I will show you some of the mods i have done in full detail with pictures for you all to see.


First is the underglow mod:


My next door neighbor bought a 4 wheel quad, and after ripping it apart, he gave me a set of LED lights that came off of it. So after doing some research on what the lights were, i figured i would spice up my Sawtooth a little. The LED lights are 6 (3 across in 2 rows) and they hook up via 12 volt. He gave me the LED's, the fuses and all the wiring for them. So, i decided to start the mod.

Here i double sided taped them to the bottom of my case, and zap strapped the wires so they go into the bottom of my case nicely.

After rerouting the wires so they go to the top of my tower, i stripped the wires so that they show the red and black wires.

Here are some of the wires and the end cap that i will be using for this mod.

Here i attached the end caps for the fuses so that if there is a surge of power, i blow the fuses first and not the LED's.

I used the end plug from an old PC motherboard and filed it down so that it would mate up with the 4 plug 12v that sits above my power supply. I also hot glued the wires to the plug so that i wouldn't cause a short anywhere. The hot glue is rubber, so no conductors.

Here is a shot of everything put together and ready for the covers to be put on. I like how this looks so neat and tidy.

After putting the case handles and case side back on, this is how the computer looks in the dark turned off.

Here is what the computer looks like after it comes to life and the lights turn on.

Altold, this mod took me about 30 min to complete. Now i have a pimped out computer with a car underglow look.
