It's very common for companies to post my video on their sites.

i threw in a Mini-MagLite with an LED conversion and Energizer Lithium batteries. plenty of light and i havent changed the batteries since i put them in mid-last year.
LED is the best thing for working inside a computer because its bright, doesnt distort colors, and doesnt have focus issues

I crank up my phone's contrast and use that for light ... And when I can't reach certain areas like the back of the case (got a CM Storm Sniper witch is really heavy to move around) I use my iPod's reflection as a mirror; especially when I have to plug in my speakers audio jacks ...

Nice new set. Perhaps a little baffling on the wall may help reduce echo.

When I built my pc last week I used a little flashlight that had a handle that could pop put into a tri-pod. Incredibly handy.

I've always wanted to build a light under my computer desk to help see my keyboard.

I have a hand crank light with a built in weather radio but I guess that's over kill because that would mean there is no power and probably no reason to have a computer running. lol

I use my trusty Fenix PD30 R2 for everything.

I use a LED Lenser P7. Very bright and the batteries seem to last forever (still using the ones that came with it).

Do you know how silly that sounds? A solar-powered flashlight? lol
