Re: oooh purty

Well, how about this, mechanicalbrain: instead of just for looks, use it for some diagnostics, too. If you plan to use connectors, then hook the EL lights (people in case mod circles love that stuff!) into the same connectors as the wires. That way, if a connector fails, the light will fail at that point, and you can easily tell where the power ends.
Just a thought.

I love to take things apart. The fact that they work better when I put them back together it just a bonus.
