NEC inspired Blue LED mods

David230 · 8 Jul 2006 at 00:38

I really like the blue power led on my NEC monitor and it inspired me to add some slight touches to a few other components/ periperherals.

Same with my computer case, which came with blue led's as standard.

What do you think.

First off,
Silver Pioneer DVD drive, shame it had a white cd tray.

Silver bezelled pioneer now with silver tray (bezel and tray re-sprayed for
colour match) :cool:

Bright blue LED installed in pioneer

Then I changed the LED in my apple keyboard to match

You really like blue LEDs don't you

Anyway, nice looking mods there, very clean looking.

Blue is good. Blue is good.

Yes had to be said twice.

I really like the monitor one.

flash used which killed LED brightness. Dont know why I did that. :rolleyes:

yep monitor one is good and the best.

I've just tried to immitate it as best I could. They look better in the flesh though although perhaps a little bright.

The monitor LED brightness is also adjustable which is a simple but nice touch I think.

Very nice...blue led's rawk. If doing something like this, check the resistance, as I blew a CD drive a few years by adding a blue LED :cool:

Nah, red always seemed too "in your face" for me, blue is timeless and cool :cool:

. Blue cathode + blue led system>Red cathode + red led system!

Other way around! Blue is far too common. The whole world and his wife has a gadget with a blue LED in.

True, but it still looks the bomb, that's why everyone has it

Well, I was'nt about to dismantle a new NEC monitor and changing it from blue, so it was a case of modding the keyboard and drive instead.

Just thought it would look smarter if all the led's were the same colour.

Pete_m · 10 Jul 2006 at 02:15

no no no, its all about white led's

cool looking mods there.. very tastefull just how it should be

I like the blue LED. Does the DVM annoy you when web browsing?

Yes it does, only use the feature in games now. Its the only problem I have with the screen. If your on the desktop and you open my computer its so in your face, I find it irritating.
