HDD Led Mod
Just completed my HDD led mod. I now have a HDD led that is green for no access, blue for scsi access, red for ide access and purple to both, and it looks amazing. I'm pretty tired now though, so you'll have to wait for tm for pics.
Also my power LED is now red for on and blue for suspended.

I really like the sound of that! My rare black MS Natural
keyboard is done in green, orange, blue, and looks really nice. I can't wait to see you mod, and how you did it!

Yes, tell us how you did it. I'm especially interested in how the power LED goes blue when suspended. Is there a signal given by the mb in suspend mode?

Here's the pic:
left to right: no access, scsi, both, ide, suspend. Suspend signal is from the suspend header on the board. IDE and scsi both have their own led headers. Main power is 12V off a molex. As for how it's done, 3 opto-isolators, 3 not gates, a nor gate and some transistors for LED drive. Circuit diagram to follow

Nice idea, Butcher. Compact and still functional.

kevin is studying electronics somewhere, so I'm guessing it was directed at him

I lust for more info. You using multiple LED's? How are you combining the light from the LED's into one output? I'm all confused.

Cool!! Could you post the circut diagram? And where you got the kool rgb led? If you look at www.bit-tech.net, Macroman did something similar, but only with power and HD activity.
Lookin' foward to that diagram!

Yes bit-tech is where I got the idea, I modified their circuit around a bit to give me the dual input functionality.
As for ciurcuit diagram, it's coming when I get time.
