Okay, heres what I got..
Xbox (everything but HDD)
PS2 (everything)
Old Linksys Router
Strobe Light =]

I was thinking, I took the strobe light apart, and took the cone off from around the light, and its a bright mofo. I picked it up (forgot it unplug it) and got a nice little shock, not some half ass, 12v shock, like, sticking a fork in the socket. Anyway, forget that story. I was going to put it somewhere in my case (after insulating it in something ofcourse). Thinking of taking some eletrical tape, and putting it on the bottom. So, it looks like a bare circuit board, and turn it on =]. Strobe, and the fans look cool in stop action.. The only problem, it gets hot.

I don't know what to do with the Xbox, PS2, and router. But, I know the Xbox power supply has a 4-pin molex, and I need to take some load off of my psu's 12v rails, because its running at 9v.

Any ideas?
I can get a solderer if needed..

My best advice to you is dont "try" to make anything out of that strobe light. Your going to leave it on one night and burn your house down. Toss it in the trash and call it a night. Thats the best advise I can give to someone who as you put it " can get a solderer if needed..."
