Current Events > PC case interior lighting (NOT NEON)

(+) Yeah! (+)

The other day I installed an external power switch/USB hub and, as I was sitting there with a flashlight between my teeth, I started contemplating better ways to see inside.

First thought was putting a white LED in each corner, on the interior side of the of that ridge that holds the side on, so when you remove the side and lay it flat, they'll be on the "ceiling," so to speak. You could connect them all to a single flipswitch and then to the PSU.

But that won't work because you turn off the PSU before you start tinkering. And unplug it.

So I thought maybe I could plug those into the wall and run the cable out through one of the PCI slots, but that would be really really dumb, lol.

Battery powered tap lights? No. Those are much too large and I certainly don't want batteries corroding inside my case.

Other ideas?

Maybe I'll just get some of those LED safety goggles and take the lenses out.
