LED Case Mod Question

[jessieqwert]

I'm looking to create an LED picture with about 100 LEDs on the side of a case. I'd like to power them through a molex from the PSU. How would I go about changing the molex in to something useful? Should the LEDs be wired in a parallel or series circuit? Thanks!

Thanks for the link GY. Lots of good ideas. Any specific instructions on harnessing the psu power though?

They didn't know what they were doing when they offered it to me. 😉

The only LED work I have done has been to replace componets or add those little spot- light like doo-hickies.

I have poped a number of LEDs before I learned they won't servive 5V. http://led.linear1.org/myth-of-the-5-volt-led/

Do your homework first, then if no one here can/will come foreward here, post at badcaps and I am sure pentium or MD Willington will come into your post. Homework first. 🙂
