    IT WORKS!

    I have it installed on the front of my computer, now controlling 3 of 4 fans, my UV cathodes (or red), and replacing the start switch.

    So it is not COMPLETELY finished, but I need a freaking break for a day or two. I worked on it all of today for almost 6 hours straight.

    Here it is:

    Looks great David, and very useful as well. Wish I had one on my machine.

    Thanks Johnathan.

    Of things I would want to fix from my experience so far, here is a list:
    1. Longer power cables
    2. Better connections
    3. Have both male and female molex power connectors

    They are cold cathodes that have UV light (kinda purple blue) instead of a regular colour. It makes anything that is UV reactive glow.

    I am, but I am still wondering what I can do to make it better.
    Or in some cases, fix it.

    Mission control, we have a go!

    Good work mate.

    Aesthetically, how about adding a 'dummy' dial for the fourth hole?

    Thanks.

    No need, I have the 4th pot sitting on my desk, just need to solder it up and wire it.
    Just needed a break today. I was happy to get it as done as I did.
