    Just wondering what are specs the LED's in the front case panel of most cases. As my Highpoint raid card has extra headers for a couple of LED's that i wanna use for a mod. But what voltage LED's do i need and what resistors, if any? thanks.

    The incredibly cheap and not at all bright LEDs that come with cases are usually ~2v@10mA. Any device that LED headers is designed to drive them directly, no resistor needed.
