Changing Case LED's

[TheBiggmann]

Is it possible to change the case front LEDs in my NZXT Apollo case?

It depends... Some come potted or glued into the front panel - those can be difficult to change. Some are strange shaped which makes life difficult. Some are standard sized LEDs mounted in standard LED holders in the metal of the chassis - these are easiest. All will require cutting wires and soldering to the new LED. It's easy to remove the front panel of your case to find out what you're dealing with.

Anyone know what the Apollo's LEDs are like so my lazy butt doesn't have to remove the front panel ?

There are plenty of reviews out there of the Apollo - surely at least one has a pic with the bezel off. He helps those who help themselves (i.e. use their brains for more than just preventing their skulls from collapsing)..

Looks like the Apollo chassis is the same as the CM Centurion 534 et al. So the LED arrangement should be similar. Plenty of reviews of those out there as well. Uses the standard snap-in mounts for LEDs and switches. Not sure how the LED is held in the white plastic, snap-in holders as I've never had to fix one - but I'm fairly sure now that the LEDs themselves are standard round ones.
