sunbeam transformer sound reactive cathodes

[WJReviews]

How did you make the cathodes reactive to different frequencies? Thanks

[rensper]

how much did this cost u?

[CatalystDestiny]

@rensper 2 months later if you haven't found any decent cathodes, Sound activated cold cathodes on newegg, are only like $15 apiece or so, and non sound activated ones can run as low as $6 or $7 each, so running a setup like his, you won't even spend 50 bucks.

OMFG YO! FREAKN SICK! =D

[racedriver52]

this is the ricer of all cases.... but I fuggin love it

[HAFcompbuild]

I hate it when you can see the cathodes themselves through the windows

[ISMELLNOOBCAKE]

anyone know where you can get them in retail Australia melb? cheers

[koolthingymabob]

Xoxide is good place to get sound reactive cathodes;)

[88JEC]

Which cathodes did u get, and where can I get them that is amazing I got the same case you got and was wondering where u got the cathodes?

[fifteendollarbill]

hey nice setup, question, do you no how to hook up a sound controller to led fans! i have like 4 led fans with 4 pin molex connectors, how would i go bout hooking them up to a sound controller? thanks!

[TGmick]

Nice cold cathode setup! Is the bottom cathode reacting to a sub and the top reacting to sound freq from speakers?

[darklordkruscinick]

@TGmick thanks! yep, that's what i was going for anyway

[TGmick]

@darklordkruscinick Cool, Check out my pc on my profile :D

I

[BlueVizzionProductio]

nice work :)

[ChristianReinds]

How much sound reactive cathodes do you have in this video?

[SafeAzFuck]

Crap song! but what kinda cathodes u got? my sound reactive ones either light up totally when the beat drops or not at all, ures seem to light up halfway depending on the loudness of the bass, looks cool!

[darklordkruscinick]

@SafeAzFuck

hehe yea about that, that took alot of work actually, that all depends on the placement of the controllers, the acoustic dynamics of the area around the cathode, and how prone the area is to vibration, in addition to a good while spent finding the proper sensitivity levels, shoot me a message and i'll give you a fiull layout if ya want

[GenXCypher]

@darklordkruscinick question.... i'm thinking of buying some of the sound sensitive inverters... does the sensitivity knob on the back adjust how LOUD the music has to be for them to come on... or the pitch range that they activate on? i.e. higher sensitivity means the pitch has to be higher for it to be activated...??

[GawdzA]

@SafeAzFuck Yah you could probably get that effect by puting the sound mic near you sub!

[MrVinton12]

Pretty neat, been thinking about putting LEDs in my PC but I wanna know one thing, how is the lights connected? Does it render anything useless (like front audio ports)?

[darklordkruscinick]

@MrVinton12 these don't nope, they just need a standard molex or fan power connector, the controllers have mics in them that detect sound

[hitomearue]

sweet i need something like this, would flash more when my grandpa has a seizure and is screaming and wiggling and crap great way to ensure that inheritance for my next computer case+1

[Vorkus01]

ROFLMAO !!!!

[bony339]

if been looking at alot of mod videos but i have to say yours is by fare the best :L jelous much

[darklordkruscinick]

@bony339 thanks man

[boromir408]

hey i likem alot now my question is when you buy the cathode with the switch is there only 1 12volt plug that comes with it or can u buy additional cathodes and attached orrrrrr do u have to buy them with the switches

[darklordkruscinick]

@boromir408 the controllers i bought can each power 2 cathodes off a single standard fan connector ( also includes a pass through molex to fan connector in the kit)

[lilliamXXX]

Could you add this sound reactive cathodes to a fan controller say sunbeam reohbus and control them.

because you can hook up cathodes to the sunbeam but the only problem is they arnt sound reactive so if i bought a sound reactive cit and hooked it up to that will it be able to work.??

Gr8te vid btw

[darklordkruscinick]

@lilliamXXX you should be able to do that as long as you keep the fan controller at 100%, because then it would jsut be like it was plugged in, below that idk what would happen, since all a fan controller does is give you a variable dial to control how much power goes to the device plugged into it. that being said the effect of lowering the dial would have effects i wouldn't know of, because it doesn't convert it's power directly into the light for the cathode.

[MerkaaHD]

where do you buy them ?

[DarkSpirit225]

hey darklordkruscinick its me darkspirit2300 i finally had time to upload a video of my case finally... the video is on my profile

[d5iveproductions]

wow 5/5 definately the best I have seen, very precise reaction to the sound, what module are you using?

[Aaguitardude]

haha thats awesome man i got a green xion solaris case with a green led fan but i want a green sound responsive cathrode bad nice vid and nice comp =) 5*

[EVENJaxon]

how did you get the cathodes to react to different sound? Like on pulses to base while one pulses to vocals and one pulses to instrumental. How did you do that wiring wise?

[darklordkruscinick]

pretty much alot of trial and error, and a somewhat broad understanding of sound equipment. i'd be glad to share a few tips and tell how i got these results in full detail in a private message, since the explanation is really long to explain how i got it just right, and i have way too few characters at my disposal in this comment to tell you anything really useful. drop me a pm and i will tell ya everything in a response

[Darkspirit2300]

Nice light mod! i have this exact same case and im about to order these only in red and have them placed different.... btw nice light mod 5 stars!

[darklordkruscinick]

thanks! hey once it's done wanna post it as a vid reply?

[t0k3z420]

hehe thats wicked dude where can I buy those cathode music lights im so gonna buy them with my transformer case

[mattg400194]

That is sick dude! I'm buying these right away and putting them in my case. :D How many you have in there?

And what song is this! I can't find it anywhere on here. :(

[darklordkruscinick]

i have got six in there i could have more but i think that is bright enough.

and the song is thinking about you by zibba

[itaclick]

will buy 17 of these units for my LAN

[darklordkruscinick]

heck yea man, that's gonna be sick

[WGEteam]

What is song plz tell

[greeksta111]

awesome! im building my own system and im going to get some Red and Green sound cathodes too

[schliffy10]

dubstep?

[SilentXCreed]

Whats the name of the Song? =)

[iamthemovie42]

Bad place to put a PC.

[darklordkruscinick]

huh? how so?

[iamthemovie42]

That thing will do your vacuuming for you, if you get what I mean. Literally sucks the dust off the carpet. I made that mistake before, had to buy a new heatsink because it was so clogged with dust and debris.

[darklordkruscinick]

the only fan that low is the one on the front which i have a dust filter on which i do admittedly need to clean quite often., the other fans are higher and have much less dust flow. but the fans are too loud to tolerate right next to my head and it is too heavy for my desk most likely so o the floor it shall live

[dzyubin]

where did you get those. I got the same case. Would love to get on of thoseee for my next lan party.

[emonation6666]

mind giving me the link to controllers? lol from newegg

[emonation6666]

do you mind telling me how to set those lighting to sensitivity. I just bought this case on ebay (74$ with tax and shipping) Pretty cheap compared to newegg (still love you newegg!!) I was just wonder if you dont mind telling me. XD Thanks bad ass set up too

[darklordkruscinick]

it's really simple you jsut buy the cathodes and controllers and the controllers come with little knobs and switches on a piece of metal that mounts like an expansion card. after that simply adjust the knobs to your tastes, it will take a little while to get it to a point where you like it on nearly all songs,

tips

- mount them all in uniform places or they won't be right in unison

- make small adjustments when tuning-give 5 seconds to see

-use different songs, they are different

thanks

[HalfTheSpeed]

Nice!

I am building my own pc within this month and I can't find anywhere in the UK that sells these sound activated ones? Where can I buy them that either sell in the UK or ship to the UK?

[ninetail3df0x]

fucking sickkkkkkkkkkkk aoshi :) btw, my first build will be done within the next week lol

[copperhead88]

nice rig man

[darklordkruscinick]

thanks

[geerd17]

nice dude i'm thinkin bout buyin tht same case is it good and how difficult is cleaning?

[darklordkruscinick]

the case is very good in my opinion, plent of room for all your cards and accessories, really good cooling and cheap to boot, the tool less design is really good too that surprised me, it even holds my 2 visiontek hd 3850's in place rock solid. only possible bad thing to say about the case is that the front plastic cover is made of plastic but most are nowadays so i don't really see that as much of an issue, i love this case.

[darklordkruscinick]

cleaning is easy door fans disconnect and you can move it away adn windex it if it is really really dirty, compressed air or a dry cloth takes care of the rest lol comment was too long for a single comment, but yea i really like it

[fightingfalconfan]

sound sensitive module. its a power converter/mic for detecting the sound from your speakers. but the music has to be kinda loud for the module to pick it up.

[manthony12]

that is sick i might be getting a computer like all the parts from newegg and then ill get those cathodes and the case too i love it

[hector9462]

nice!!!

[imagonnarapeu]

does the lights come stock with adjusting sensitivity levels?

[boondock1213]

no. you have to buy the cathode lights and then a sound module seperately. You then hook up the sound module, and that has adjusting sensitivity levels.

[topomayor]

u think i should buy one or two green 15" cathodes.. im using an antec 900

[darklordkruscinick]

the 900 is a pretty big case, my bud has a 900 adn he has two blue cathodes mounted vertically kinda like mine except on the actual side of the case so that they can be seen through the window of the case and they generate a pretty good effect. if you are going blue no question get two, if getting green it depends how bright you want it to be but i would still say two they are cheap enough not to be stingy.

[topomayor]

im thinking in buying those from logisys but i read they stop working when u activate the sound mode ...ummmm

[darklordkruscinick]

idk if that is true , mine are logisys and they have been goin strong nearly 2 months now.

[jjtrasher]

Nice, just ordered some of these, whats the song name?

[darklordkruscinick]

thinking about you by zibba

[ranasimon]

:D I seriously can't wait to see this Beast complete and whopping ass!

[b1gwi11]

Nice lights. Can't wait to see the finished product :D
