All that was
needed was:
- A drill &15/64 drill bit.
- A smaller drill bit for the pilot
hole.
- A small sharp punch.
- Small hammer.
- Soft pencil for the layout
- Small ruler for the layout.
- A small square.
- Or use the template
I've supplied below
- A soldering iron.
- A multi-meter ( it's nice to have
one, but necessary )
- Some sub-micro
switches from radio shack. 4 or 5 of these.
- Heat shrink tubing.
- Stereo Speaker Wire about 18 gage
or so.
- Quick
Disconnects
- Wire
Strippers with crimp tool
Then just install your lights or fans. It's
best to have your devices installed, with wires routed (concealed)
Shrink wrap, or use spiral or split
looms, as most cathodes are a real wiring mess. Do this first.
You can add a small 12 volt LED, but
on a floppy bay cover, you will be very crowded for room.
Best to save the LED's for a side panel
or CD Bay cover. LED's are just treated as an extra
device, wired on the same switch
The speaker wire is better for switch
legs as it's already bonded together. These switches are
rated for 6 amp at 125 volts do they should handle anything a 12
volt
system can put out.
That Borg looking OptiVisor
is the most handy thing I own. Great for soldering, connecting small
things to a mother-board, freaking out your friends or what ever.
Resistance is futile.
