    I have a few 12v panel meteres from a car, both for the fuel, i printed out faceplates for them to say HDD Activity and 12V
    how do i hook the HDD activity meter up so it would work?

    3.3v...really? can u back that up with any URL's? cuz i have a bl00 led in there and it works the same i think, but if its 3.3v then im disconnecting it from the mobo and hooking it up to a 5v feed so i can get maximum brightness baybee

    i think....

    i think it is 3.3 volts, but i know that there are 5.5v connections in there, thanks to my trusty multimeter, youd just have to switch where your plug goes in.
