Yea, some ICs that will be used to control your blinky blinky LEDs

Well, the 555 ic will make things sort of simplier. As for the resistor, tell me how many LEDs in total you going to have and I'll do all the maths for you. I do Physics you see. I just keep on forgetting about the current of LEDs, I normally use button batteries which don't need resistors.

this is kinda a bit different, but I was wondering how you got mesh to stick to your computer, with like glue or a nail\screw?

Ok, the LEDs are in!

These are the one's I've got, 10 of them: http://www.frozencpu.com/ele-12.html

So, I went to http://led.linear1.org/led.wiz and put in all the stuff, and it says I need a 56ohms resister per LED (in parallel), and I'm mainly just checking that this is correct.

The real question is here: I've got 2 LEDs that I want to be on the same circut, but I want these to blink, unfortanetly, they're different voltages, 2.1V, 20mA, which says I need one 46omhs resister (lights would be in serial) As for the blinking, I'd rather if it was more flickering than repeating blinking, going for the 'almost dead but still on' feel, so how would I go abouts setting that up? Also, I think I'll just rig it up without a switch, so I dont have to worry about that.

randomly flickering LEDs? That would drive me absolutely nuts, I would just see it out of the corner of my eye haha
But good luck with it, im sure you know what you're doing!

haha, thats why I'm only using 2 LEDs instead of 50 : P Also, it's my spare computer : )
