need setup advice - LOTS of LEDs in case mod

Wow, impressive. Definitely an improvement over the previous version

OOC, what's the adapter card? Parallel? SCSI?

That looks sweet! On the resistor, you'll have to wire it up like you see on the LED calc. That'll give you the maximum brightness for each.

thanks!!
ummm...adapter card....ummm....let's see. There was a SCSI card in there for my 11x17 Epson scanner, but due to the plug not fitting through the PVC pipe pathway underneath the model after I rebuilt the underside, I've pulled the SCSI card out for now, I rarely used the scanner anyway. what's still in there is the video card...which incidentally is about 3.5" longer than what I designed the case to hold, so there was much gnashing of teeth and panicking until I successfully scooted things around to make it fit. The only other "card" in there is a PCI express sound card that came with the mobo, but I'm not sure it's visible in any of the photos, it's tucked behind the video card.

Heheh, yup, it was the SCSI card I was wondering about.

here's a couple updated photos; there's also a few more here:

another LED question - I've got 11 higher voltage LEDs and 132 2V LEDs. the 11 LEDs are individually wired in parallel; they all have built-in resistors (I *think* they're all rated for 12V, even though the lights themselves are not all the same voltage, the resistors take care of any excess).
the 132 yellow LEDs will all run off one 12V connector straight from the PSU, in strands of 6 lights + 1 ohm resistor; each of these strands is in series. All the series strands are globally wired in parallel.
What I'm wondering is, since the detachable cord from the PSU has 3 molex connectors on it, and they're wired in parallel, can I hook up the 11 higher voltage LEDs to the 2nd molex on the same cord as the 132 yellow LEDs? Or will the difference in voltage between the 2 sets cause one or the other to dim? Not sure exactly how the current/voltage things works.

a) a 1 ohm resistor is kind of silly. I doubt your getting parts with low tolerance's anyways, so it is in all likelihood just a piece of wire.

b) there won't be a voltage difference in the molex on the same wire, it should still give 12v

and the current/voltage thing works by V = IR
