How to install LEDS [+8rep]

[Blinger1]

I am after a tutorial on how to install custom LEDs into a PC case. I haven't really done much to do with LEDS/moding my case before so a beginners tut would be helpful.

Oh god please don't, even if you really want to, don't go through the phase, it's horrible and WHY ARE THERE SO MANY BLUE LIGHTS

I agree. I wish i'd never bought all those LED fans :'(.

The plan will be to install them on an arcade machine. I thought if I hard wire the stuff it might be easier.

This.

I'm contemplating pulling the plug for the "power" LED on mine. Damn blue ring around the power button.

Are they REALLY that bad? :S

Yes. Lights are off. I'm trying to watch a film. Stupid blue glow in the corner of my eye.

I use the ps3 for that. The computer won't be visible anyway ;)

Then why are putting lights on it if it won't be visible ?

Because the LEDs will be visible. I plan on putting them on the outside of the case.
