PS2 Case Modding

Hi!! I would like to mod my ps2 case to make it clear and i want to put led lights in it. Does anyone know of a link where i can buy these led lights?? i remember someone selling a kit on ebay. the company was located in texas and there name was xpsmods. they sold a kit for 80 dollars that included everything u need and the lights. does anyone know of someone that sells like this?? does anyone know of any websites. i have aready purchased a clear fliptop case

 

radioshack if u want to buy locally if ur in the states.

just buy the LED's and some resistors, most radioshacks have a link to a website to verify what size resistors you need, if i remember PS2 internals are 12volts. otherwise google for Oznium, they sell led's and cathodes for pc's and automotive and general home applications, they might have what your looking for.

 

Yah, thats great but the problem is how would i mod it with the leds from radio shack?? is there a certain method i can use?? is there a link to this method. does anyone know if xps mods is still in business??

 

did u search for xps mods? i'm guessing you didn't, cuz their website is gone/down/non-exsistant. so they're probably gone.

you just need to tap into the fan power (12v) and run the wire to ur resisitor then to the led.

i don't know of any DIY tutorial for it, but i'm sure there is one, try searching through AD or maybe the site u got ur clear case from offers a kit to do the led's?

 

nah, i did run a google search before i posted and they were on my favorite sellers list

 

check out the link in my sig

 

cool, do u know if they sell kits like that?? such as a neon tube and a couple of other leds??

 

just ask the admin there,(nickname teammodders on the forums)

they do all sorts of stuff,and if he dont,i am sure someone there will point you in the right direction

 

ok, basically this is what i have done so far:

1. Clear See Thru Flip Top Case

2. 100 5MM Blue LED's With Resistors

3. 100 LED Holders

4. 50 5MM Blue Flashing Leds

Does anyone have any ideas on a material to mount these on such as cardboard??

 

another problem is i plan to put multiple leds into my ps2. between 50-100, is there anyway to do that??

 

i just have to say between 50-100 is alot.

 

i might use 20-30 leds, but that is it, i just bought the others off bulk.

 

I used one ultra bright aqua colour led in my slimline, i connected to the 5V output from the USB port, more safer then having a fan not running at optimum performance.

 

iHackPS2.org has a Slim Clear Case w/ XCM 240 Lights for 40 $. I bought one and looks AWESOME. You Plug it in to the fan port but there is a Spliter so the lights and the fan can be one at the same time.

 

240 lights, thats alot.

 

I donno its like 5 acually lights just look here: http://ihackps2.org/inventory/product.php?productid=16183&cat=252&page=2

Has a video of the lights on and pictures

 

Its says 240, but it only has 5 or 6 lights in it which are reflected back and forth i think

 

yeah pretty cool, hey Walee how did you put those light on ur PS2?

 

@baconX
its waleed
I soldered a resistor in series with a LED to the 5v output of the usb port.

 

Where did you buy it can you give me a link?
