So I've been reuminating on this for a while now (way back then (http://www.gotapex.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=52411))

With school finally getting out for winter break, I finally had the energy and time to build one.

This is my first (prototype) external LED mod. It works great.
Background:
I have my case under my desk, so I never see the HD LED and when I want to turn it on I have to reach down under my desk and search for the power button. This has two switches (power and reset) and four LEDs (power, HD, and 2 network (to be added later))

Pretty spiffy, how did you wire it up inside the comp? Take pics :)

btw jello, the black mystery box extends all his LEDs to his desktop where he can easily look at the activity lights.

And my reset and power switch...the inside of the case basically has the standard front-panel connectors woven into a cable, and then soldered into the wires on a parallel cable. I have a vent near my AGP port...that's where the cable runs into the box.

Thanks for the cool and the spiffy. :D
