If I wasn't already drinking I'd go over and do it. I want to see the inside of that bad boy anyways.

I'll definitely help you. I just can't drive over to do it right now. Especially not at 5pm on a Friday. You could always bring it over. I'll be here all night. It's a party of one.

Underneath that raised part, you should find a board with 5 drivers. One larger than the others, which I believe is for a higher current white emitter in the center. Each puck will have a driver board. Give the drivers a supply to draw from and tell them how much current to output. Tada, you have an AI Vega.
