Hello!

So, the reason why I created this post is basically because I need help and inspiration about what to do with my LED-controller.

It's a PCI mounted one, but since I don't have a PCI-slot available I could use some help. As of right now, it's justed doubled sided taped to the side.

The case is a Pantheks Enthoo Mini.

See the picture:

That little board needs to be mounted on a better way, and I can't figure it out.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you.

 

PS. Bonus setup shot!

Welcome to the Forums!

 

You could simply remove the PCB from the PCI-E bracket and sandwich it between two pieces of acrylic and stick it in a hidden spot in the case or those plastic hobby boxes to enclose it.

Thank you, I've been a LTT fan for years but never made an account. Shame on me :(

Yeah I already have removed the PCB from the PCI-E bracket. I guess I can make a little box for it, however it kinda disrupts the use of it. The PCB contains an off button and a birghtness button that I wanna use. I was more thinking like maybe drilling and cutting a hole in the sidepanel and mounting the controller to that. Do you think that would work?

Yeah I don't see a problem with having it say similar to the H440 where they have a button to control lighting at that back of the case. I think having it in a somewhat hidden area for the button to press would work well.

Yeah I totally agree.

Although, a small acryllic box for it would be nice, just to contain the PCB and make it "safer". The maybe mount it on the back of the case and drill holes for the buttons to come out, just like in the H440. Thanks for the idea :D
