Recently I was crawling around behind my desk, unlit cigarette in my mouth,
plugging in my Microsoft precision 2 joystick getting ready to cause some
serious mayhem in a nice online game of MechWarrior 4.As I crawled out from
behind my desk, task accomplished , I noticed my dog staring at me, head cocked,
ears up. She obviously thought I was insane.
And I'm thinking to myself, why in the hell cant I get a case like the ones
the OEM's like compaq have. Nice little front USB connectors. Sweet, probably
the only thing I like about a compaq machine. I have the extra set of USB ports
that came with my Abit KT7-RAID. Maybe I could do something with them, to hell
with compaq. Ill put in a set of my own. So I did. Here's how. Oh yeh,.where did
my lighter go, hmm.
First of all I got my stuff together.
Equipment
USB dongle that came with the Motherboard ( and can also be purchased separately
at a local computer store or even Circuit City or Best Buy )
Internal Power Splitter
Electrical Tape
Soldering Iron
Flux
Solder
Wire Strippers/Cutters
18 Inches of 6 Type Conductor Telephone Wire
Dremel Tool and Attachments
Starting Out
To go one step further I made a trip to the local auto parts store to pick up
a cigarette lighter assembly, heh.
