My 1st Smart Mirror Quest

Decided to change up the decor and added two Star Wars LED lamps that are plugged in to the USB ports on the RPi. I can control them with the remote they came with.

Nicely done! I love the happy surprise with the monitor LED. And good job with the heat sinks.

@Mykle1 @sdetweil Thanks, as mentioned, couldn’t have done it without help from both of you!

@bhepler Thanks!
I kept the bottom open thinking it would help with air circulation (and wasn’t worried about light entering from the bottom), but this was a great bonus.
Hehe I actually thought I had gone overboard with that many heat sinks, but I haven’t turned my monitor off even once yet and the back of monitor is still cool as a cucumber!
