Customizing the System a Bit More

The motherboard has lots of jumper setting to decide on. But I couldn't quite decide on the video settings. So sxerks showed me I didn't have to. I got two more 2-pin connectors (I used old pc LEDs again) and a toggle switch. Which I got from radioshack for $1.
Now I know this isn't the best photo, but it was the best angle I could get. The red and white is the RCA switch and the red and clear is the S-Video option. I mounted the toggle switch right above the USB hub wire with a little dab of epoxy.
This part was an idea I had the first time I ever went to Junkmachine. I went to the thrift store and bought the worst nes game I could find. I used a hack saw and cut of the top 5% of the cart. Then used my dremel to sand down the rough edge. Let me tell you, this was REALLY, REALLY hard.
Here's how it looks finished. Before I put the top of the cart below the DVD drive, you could see part of the hard drive, some cables, and other various parts inside the case. It adds to the stock look of it, if you ask me. I was thinking about adding a HD LED some where on the cart. But the plastic was really hard, so I didn't bother.
