These fans use super-bright LEDs and you can really see them, I used them for my jewel as well and they give off a cool glow and plug right into your hard drive cable. By the way, I can host your tutorial on my site for you if you want, just PM me...

thanks for the ideas. I used the red cath ring but it was pink and shitty, then got a 4-led fan (red) and it looks really nice. Glad you posted this.

thanx guys. I just figured this is easier for people, Like newbies who are scared of resistors and such. There really is nothing to this mod anyone can do it

Thnx mhr_54 ill get it all together and pm you soon. For now its good where it is

[Heet]

Ya i was gonna just do em parallel with resistors but this is easier and you get a free fan to boot. Go to xoxide.com for the 80mm fans guys. Its like 5.40 or so for a fan and 4 superbright leds. Cant beat it.....

Ya i did my other one with resistors this way is alot cleaner

[brahm2]

While it may not be practical (for SOME people) it looks a lot easier for newbies, and they don't have to worry about resistors.

Good job, lots of pics is always nice

OK guys dont laugh at me. But I am really new to all this. On step 11, Could you expand it a little more? As to what wire goes where? Or closer pics?

I use my Cath. Ring, It really is pinkish, but i read somewhere, if you put red shrinkwrap around it, it gets darker and more red'er....
