Thread: I can't help it...

    Default I can't help it...

    Taking pics of stuff is fun :P

    I spent the morning putting together, installing, setting up the computer i'm using to control the lights for my tank.


    My computer system in pieces... On the left you can kind of see the huge powersupply i'm using while installing everything. Beside it, you can see the IBM multiport whatever thing that gives me an added serial port, parrallel port, and 5 more USB ports. I need it because the flex-atx motherboard doesn't have an onboard serial port. (The X10 setup uses the serial port to control my lights)


    The sole reason I bought this motherboard. For $30 + shipping I get a small flex-ATX motherboard plus wireless keyboard... on the top right of the keyboard is the mouse. Towards the top of the pic hanging out of the case you can see the receiver for the keyboard.


    Here's a shot of the program running on the computer screen that controls the lights.


    Blue LED's are cool. 8)


    Close up shot of the little part that plugs into the serial port. It works wirelessly to turn lights on and off.


    And the evening i've been painting the back of the tank... here's a shot from the back...


    And another from the inside front....

    With as long as it's taken me to setup this one.... I don't think you'd want me to do yours :P

    I'm hoping to have water in the tank by the end of the month though.
