Actually, I am thinking of doing a case mod to my computer (I'm into computers too, actually the one with which I am currently writing this latter was built completely by yours truly.
)
I have a pretty generic case, which I cut a few holes in for venting. It's all air cooled, but I haven't really looked into putting a "window" into my case. I think it would be dead sexy, but I think I lack the tools and skill to put in a "window".
Anyways, I'm talking about a flashlight! not computers! lol
I use my solar 3-led amber light as a background light actually. I have a glass frosted dome, and I'll invert it, and it the light will refract within the frosted dome and give a very pleasing, diffused amber light. I like making use of my flashlights when I'm not taking walks, swimming in a lake in the middle of the night (talk about scary) or beating people with the flashlight itself. Kidding on the last one
Anyway... I think I'll go with alkalines for now. But would the light be much dimmer? Let's recap.
Cons of NiMH:
1.Dimmer due to lower voltage
2.Lose charge quickly when not in use
3.Expensuv
Pros of NiMH:
1.Lasts longer? How much longer?
2.Rechargable and will probably give me about 30,000 hours on one set of batteries.
3.Don't have to buy alkalines, don't have to throw away alkalines
4.No guilt! (that's the best part)
I dunno, guys. I can get two "sets" (6) C-cells, high quality NexCell 4500mAH cells, with a charger, for about 80 dollas.
Or... I could go with alkalines. What do you guys use? What would you say?
