Also integrated a switch on each stand incase i want to turn em off. They get power via mini fan connecter (+5v). I used 5v white led. I used sleeving on the wiring from computer to speaker so it looks like hi-fi speaker cable. If you dont want the extra wire u can just remove the cable and it is flush at the base. The pics will be coming showing step by step process of build.. let me know what u think! thanks, |
