Flickr Finds: DIY Backlit Monitor

2008-3-31backlitmonitor.jpgAdd some drama to your office. This simple hack allows you to add backlighting to your desk, creating a monitor easier on the eyes both when you're working and when you're not.

This effect was created by attaching some simple IKEA lights to the back of the monitor. He doesn't go into specifics, but these LACK spotlights might do the trick.

GORGEOUS!

I'm thinking of doing kind of the same thing, except that in my case it's my white IKEA PS cabinet instead of the computer, and a cheap plug-in flourescent tube thing from Home Depot instead of the IKEA lights.
