JONTHEBOMB:

Hello again,

I want in on this excellent project and now I am wondering how to get a money order.  First do I get a money order through the post office or the bank?
After I get the money order then would I send it to you in Houston?

Thanks


Buddabing:

I get money orders at the grocery store. Kroger, etc.

PM me for my mailing address.

Thanks,
Buddabing

This may not be the best place for this but its related...

Everyone doing the illuminating thing tends to refer to superbrite LEDs, which is great - they are cheap and readily available. But theres a huge range in brightness, measurerd in "mcd's"

What mcd rating is suggested/been tested? Obviously this depends on the button -  I think I'm going to test illuminating standard (non-translucent) buttons first to see the result. Just wondered what results people had had with what rating.

Also re:pre-orders. I've not jumped on yet as my system does not have a parallel port, but it does not look like adding one via a pci card is too complicated...

Buddabing:

Mine are 11000 mcd. They are freaking bright. That's why I installed a potentiometer on the board to regulate the maximum current going through the LEDs.

You should be able to use 8000 mcd LEDs with no problem.

My standard black buttons are opaque to the light of the 11000 mcd LEDs. Standard start buttons light okay.
