You'd be best off adding a 33 ohm resistor to each lead, that would lower the current enough that I don't think it'd fry anything. I'm not the person to ask though, I know there are much more experienced EEs on this list. > I know we should really go 3 led's, but that'd mean modifying the > beautiful case! Umm... Nate? Carl? You two are AGAINST modding a case and adding LEDs to it? Of course, I haven't seen any pictures **COUGH, WINK, NUDGE** of this case but still, with that much disk in a box I can't imagine anything less than packing it full of LEDs. -Brian
