how to wire 4 LED's off the power supply
Ok, I want to wire 4 LEDs off of my power supply ( to go into the feet of the case )
How should I wire them?
I have resistors

all you have do is wire them (with appropriate resistance into your +12 or +5 line)http://www.luxeonstar.com/resistor-calculator.php
This calc should help ya

i personlay use this LED calc for figuring out stuffs. but for the most part a 1k resistor is good for 1 led on 12V.
Just wire them all in parellell. each LED gets a resistor (leet MS paint skillz)
Use the yellow and black wires if your using 1k resistors and you should be just fine.

my bad
i have these for my shuttle
i just need to get of my but take it apart to redrill the holes bigger
g/k

I have everything already, the LEDs came with those resistors for 12VOriginally posted by TheSovereign
goto radioshack get 5v LED's u dont need resistors use the 5v rail from your molex's to power them
keep in mind if they are backwards they wont light up
and they are UV, I never seen UV @ the Shack

i never use a board for leds like that. i just cut the pins short on the led and resistor and solder them on so that the resistor makes up one leg and the other leg is left alone.. then just add wires and heat shrink and its all good. its how i did the LEDs on my car.
