Ok guys, here it is... after some minor initial problems with my new LK204-25PC (and the help from Miles that fixed those fried GPOs for me... THANKS), everything in my new case is in place. Details and more pix can be found on my site at (too long to list everything here): http://www.samw5.com/Comp...

That sounds like good news. I'm just not sure about the rating that I've found for the cold cathodes inverter. 300mA seems to be a hell of a lot low for those lights. I can say that I'd feel soo much better if someone else done it before. But again, if the plan works ok, I'm gonna have some kicker m...

Guys, I'm not sure if this has been done in the past so I thought I would ask. I'm trying to hook up a cold cathode inverter to my LK204-25PC which has those high power GPOs. The inverter doesn't consume more than 300mA of current from what I've read (though again, I'm still trying to find more on t...

Thanks Henry

Hey guys, I'm looking for a place to buy a bunch of small 2pin femal connectors (same as those LED connectors for motherboards) that I would use on my Matrix Orbital LCD. I've got some but I'm selling my old case with a bunch of them so I'm gonna need some spares. I can't seem to find neither the na...

Sounds great.

Thanks again for the help,

Sam

Ah, what's the "near future" like? Mid-summer, Fall 2003, or early 2004.

Cheers,
Sam

Thanks Miles. Will look into that. Do you happen to know where I could possibly find it? Also, I might be selling my LK202-24 and get an LK204-25PC Limited edition instead which I believe wouldn't require me to use a relay, but I was wondering if this model will ever be available in blue color (blue...

Excellent. Thanks Henry for your help. Now just as your opinion, do you think this solution will work properly enough to turn on neons? Also what are the differences with the newer USB model? Finally, I really like the High Voltage mod, and was wondering how hard it would be to modify it so that the...

I have. I was just wondering if there was alternatives to this; I was thinking about using a relay to turn the neons on in my case instead of doing this mod but just can't figure out which relay I would need (read my first post).

Sam

Hmmm, no response... No go on the relay or just no clue on how to do it?

Let me know I need to get those parts soon

Sam

Are you serious. There aren't any relays that are supposed to only take very small voltage as signal to turn on some accessories? I was under the impression that the point of a relay was just that.

Sam

Ok, here is the deal. I still have my awesome LK202-25 serial LCD and I'm in the process of modding a new case (Chieftec Matrix Full tower). I've been thinking for a while to do this but the time has now come; I want to let the LCD control the neon lights in the rig through the GPOs. I've been looki...

Just wondering if there is a way to change the startup display on a LK202-25. I tried using the change.exe that came with the cd but it doesn't seem to work. Is it supposed to or am I doing something wrong. Any other ways to edit the rom file to change the display text before the LCD software kicks ...

Henry; My LCDC looks all set; it as a custom shutdown message that shows up when the system is shut down and it looks like it's working. I'm gonna try adding a Sys>On Start entry to dim the backlight to see if this works. Now when the computer is first started (i.e from no power) I always have the M...
