just wondering because i think it looks cool

Blue LED for power.

White LED for CD-ROM's and floppy.

White LED for hard drive.

When ever I access the hard drive or CD-ROM's, I get a little lightening show, looks really killer at night. :2cool:

Which one's did you order?

Have you ever installed LED's before?

They only go in one direction. Here's a brief description on how to install them.

Glad I could help.

roundeye, How much did to give for that Lian-Li PC-60. I saw one at the show today for $195.99, have you seen it any cheaper?

I put it on my Christmas list and don't want my kids to working too much overtime buying me gifts.

I get my electronics from http://www.jameco.com for a lot less money than radioshack and with a lot quicker service.

BMED,

I got my case at So-Trick Computers, and it's a PC-30.

el bob,

Thanks for the link, but I had a couple of the blue LED's already from a past project, so I just bought the remainder of what I needed from Radio Shack. I wanted to make sure they had the same amount of luminous intensity. I didn't look at that site too much but the LED's from Radio Shack have a 2600mcd (brightness), which is very bright for a LED.

I guess I'll give y'all a preview of the case lighting. I'm doing a dual color scheme of blue and red. When I turn on both colors, at the same time, it gets some-what purple too. I'm almost finished building the lighting modules and should have them in the case soon.

Here's a couple of preview pics, keep in mind I took these pics during the day with the modules sitting on my kitchen table, in the sun. They are very bright!

(wish I had a better camera)
