Mod Idea

Sup yall,
I am considering a auto type cig lighter in my case. Has this been done before? I think it would be pretty dope. I'll never need to search for a lighter again. U could charge stuff and power stuff with it. I just don't know if it will work. Will I need another power supply?

yeah, i got one, look at the case gallery page 2, and yes, you´ll need another psu, ´cause it needs killah amps

and now i got a pic of it for you

omg ppl are lazy! cig lighters on computer HAHA

i´ve been to lan parties yet where after two days we hadn´t had any lighter any more at 2 in the mornin and we had to wait until a shop opened before we could smoke again and that was pure torture, from that day on, i swore myself to build a device that prevents from such situations, so i built in a second psu and a cigarette lighter. ppl on the parties get ugly[glow=green,2,300]GREEDGREEN[/glow] when they see it ;D

Thing is my case has no room for another power supply. Trying to find a way to make room but it just dont look promising. I am also looking to add a scsi raid with as many drives as possible at 10,000 RPMs each. This alone will suck up the 350 watt psu that came with my case. Any suggestions would be appriciated.

one possible solution is a special powersupply that is smaller sized than standard ones. i know a few ppl woh own some. these thingies are about 12x7x10 cm and can give 125watts which should be suiting. you could also simply use a standard 12v power supply, but it should be able to give more than 5 amps.shit is i don´t know the exact power consumption of a cigarette lighter.
if you haven´t got any spare room inside the case, why not mount the supply outside

At my work we have a huge redundant power supply made for proliant servers. This thing is enormous and has like three powersupplies in one. i might grab that one. Could probably get it for like 30.00. I know I will be gewtting some 10000 rpm drives for like 15.00. i love my job. We also have some piece of shit power supplies. The thing is I want to maintain the sleek look of the antec 1030b case that i am modding. If anyone has any links to a place that has a solution for this that would be cool. I am thinking of taking that power supply and putting it in some kind of encloser and screwing it to the yop of the case. them I could have a tv hooked up to it if I want

go for the fattest and mod it ;D

Steal it, Mod it, Break it! :P lol. Everytime i mod something it breaks.... LOL
