    Does the Kobalt G860 / Sager NP8690 / Clevo W860CU (I wish there was one standard model name for this :D) have any internal power connectors that I can hijack?

    I was thinking about possibly modding to add a bit more life to the chasis by adding internal lighting to the rear exhaust vents and maybe a few leds under the keyboard to add some very low brightness back lighting.

    Has anything like this been done before?

    It looks rather nice on the comanche sli model
