Introduction:

Nowadays, every self-respecting casemodder owns at least one CCFL lamp. For people like me, it can be useful to be able to switch the lights on and of. This is where a baybus comes in handy. Today I'm going to show you how to make your own, and how I made and installed mine.

What you need:

- x SPST switches
- x CCFL invertors (duh)
- x CCFL lights (duh idem)
- x Blue (or the colour you want) LEDs*
- x 470 Ohm resistors*

Where x = the number of CCFL lamps you want to control
(* = optional, but I do advise everybody to add status LEDs)

- Some l33t solder skills (unlike mine)
- Some electric wire
- Heat shrinks, heat shrinks, and heat shrinks (I can't tell you how many you are gonna waste :)
- A free 3,5 or 5,25 inch bay
- A drill for the holes of the switches and LEDs (size may vary)
- This guide

And off course this scheme

This is how my final baybus looks like:

Example shows only 1 CCFL and 1 inverter attached.
