    This is what the "Location" tag is for, If you are in the US, go to http://www.jameco.com

    If you are in the UK, maplin (sorry, no URL) would be a good idea.

    It is a realy simple circut, and you have complete schematics, so, what is the problem?

    Please be kind and courdious when requesting stuff, it is not a life or death situation (well, it shouldn't be) :D :D

    Anyone mind informing me why my 2600mcd blue and 3000mcd red led's don't quite get nearly that bright? This is off topic, but it's been bugging me. I snipped off some pre-wired orange and green led's and wired the blue and red to the power and hdd lights. Is it the power from the motherboard not being enough, or are there led's that don't have a slim viewing angle that I can buy? Even when I look at it dead on it's nowhere near as bright as the one in that video further up the post...grr bah

    A friend of mine is writting a very detailed guide on how to make an LED throbber. Lots of pics, and it should be very detailed. Even an idiot like myself will be able to follow along on it :)
