> Umm... Nate? Carl? You two are AGAINST modding a case and adding LEDs to > it? not me. I'm all in favor of more blinky lights. http://www.redchrome.org/desk.htm (I ought to take a closeup of my LCD panel). for gladiator tho; I really don't care much about the blinkies, since it's going to be on the top shelf in the server room most of the time. I really fail to see why Nate wants to hook all the drive lights to a single LED. ;> best solution would be to get an LCD panel from Crystalfontz or Matrix Orbital; and use that to display drive activity (and disk utilization, and load, and # of users, etc.) http://lcdproc.omnipotent.net/ they're not cheap tho; at about $70-80 for a 2-line LCD in its bracket; and $160-$170 for the fancy 4-line VFD. (http://www.bit-tech.net/article/63/ using it to decorate one of the coolest cases I've ever seen). Carl. -- Network Engineer Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com
