My computer is located outside on the balcony of building. It’s used mainly for gaming and multimedia. First it was in the living room and I tried to quiet it down but didn’t succeed so I decided to put it on balcony. It is running 0-24h but from time to time some game would freeze, or Kodi and Windows would go wild and unresponsive. It’s not often but happens. So I decided to do something about it.
I was first searching for some old toy or box that I can use for this “experiment” and I stumbled upon iSharpener that my wife bought for kids but was poorly working so with my wife’s permission I decided to make use of it 🙂
Things I needed and had at my home to get this done:
- iSharpener box (any kind of plastic box or toy would suffice
- thin CAT-5 LAN cable, 5m (any cable with eight wires)
- computer cables for power switch, power led, reset switch and hdd led (search on ebay for ATX Power On Reset Switch HDD Cable)
blue LED power switch for effective look – took this on ebay (you can search for 12V 16mm LED power switch to find other colors)
It is pretty straight forward to assemble this
So after soldering this all together the final result was this:
