I am pretty sure the LEDs are 12v. They are only controllable on the Alienware app by zones. I don't want them 12v. I want to be able to run Asus's "Starry night" which is amazing. As such? I may as well just replace them all tbh. The only difficult part (if you could even call it that) is this...

Same here. Let's make this a good one lads.

So the fans are sorted. For free too which is always nice ! It did catch me off guard though. Like, two of them are wired together and have a RGB connector. I couldn't make head nor tail of it then I realised they must have come with one of the AIOs I bought (probably the one recently I put in...

OK so another discovery. The front RGB uses light pipes. Edit. The panel for the ALIENWARE text also uses those "tron lights" as Alienware call them. It is in the service manual. Now this took some head scratching. It seems they share the same working principle as Lian Li Strimer V1. IE...

OK so some good news. I did a bit of research, and, - .... That is the main block in the front panel. And, it all looks completely normal tbh. I've also been doing some research on the lighting. It seems the main lighting is in two areas.. The front, and this side (the entire name lights up)...

Well this was not even going to be a project log tbh. However, I got caught out and now it is one lmfao :D I don't know if you know the meaning behind my username. Most people think my name is either Alex or Andy. The latter would be correct. The ALX part? comes from my prolonged history with...

Belated MC boys. Sorry, been a bit busy. Hope you had a blessed one x

The back piece is now finished. I also machined this yesterday. It is for the left side panel. I have also assembled the front panel.

OK one last purchase. This time last year I got rid of my Iphone 11 Pro Max and hoped I could go back to Android without feeling it too much. It's been horrible. After 4 months due to their obsession with AI they broke my phone via an update which removed not only autocorrect but also spelling...

Back in my younger days I used to love their jeans (men) and T shirts etc. Problem now is Italians are tiny, and their clothes no longer fit me lmao.

Sadly we had a problem. When I took the blue piece and laid it over the yellow this happened.. I am flummoxed. In the end I took the piece I drew up, re-traced it, put it back in Easel and... Yeah, god only knows. OK, trying that again lol Bit snapped. Ugh. Thankfully I came up with a...

Every year I buy a new pair of sneakers/trainers. This year was no different, only I spent a lot more. These are my Xmas present from my mother. Not sure I will wear them outside as it would ruin the teddy bears lol. Also, realising how many pairs I now have (about 18) I got this...

And GO ! About an hour later.. On the fan. And the outer door piece.

OK so last night I fixed the wifi "issue". Turns out it was not an issue, it was just the short antenna on the wifi card. Problem being the internet here. It's crap. It ended up too late so I just turned it back off and put it away. I think the game end will need to be done once it is...

OK back at it. Bolts came today. I have ordered the acrylic. Decided to use 3mm for the yellow inner parts and VT logos, and 5mm blue for the rest. I have now finished wiring the PSU. So much tidier. Just a jump start to the start pins and the 8 pin PCIE cable. Which was more of a challenge...
