Prewired HDD blue LEDs

[jonMEGA]

I am getting this in a few days and would like to have a blue LED for each channel. Is there a online seller for prewired blue LEDs that would work for this? I plan on drilling a few holes into the full-sized blank cover and installing these there.

If there isnt an place to get these what is the rating on the correct LEDs for this application? Do I need a resistor also?

Thanks,

well if the card can use standard hdd leds, than directron has some pre-wired blue ones here.

I just put my blue in today I got one for the HD and one for the power light. I will say this I am not happy with the power one its not even close to being as bright as the HD one is. I have an Antec 830 case and a Soyo P41 Fire Dragon mobo powering the lights. I got mine form the link below but I did hear you can get them from Frys or Radio Shack if you have one close by.

Just spoke to a guy at radio shack and here's the deal on blue LED. All the ones the sell ar 5mm and 5 volt lights. Thats the reason my power one is dim, so if you are going to get some make sure you find out what voltage to get. In my system i have to have 3 volt for the power and the 5 volt for the HD are fine. The problem is it doesnt seem like they have 3 volt in blue, so I am going to get a 3 volt flashing red for my power and elave the 5 volt in the HD.

I had the same problem when I installed my blue's. The HD light was really bright, but the power light wasn't. I discovered that if I plugged the power LED into the turbo LED header, it was just as bright as the HD light. So far it works great.
