I for the most part have completed the fan mod. I have all four leds mounted and hooked up.
I did this mod slightly different then the others that citrixmeta pointed out at Overclockers.com. I used two different types of LEDs and placed them in parallel. One set of LEDs are blue, 460nm, 3.5V @ 30mA (From my company) the others are red 1.7V @ 20mA (from Radioshack).
Since the two sets have different requirements I did some checking, because its been to long since electronics school, and found this site LED Circuitry Tutorial. Check it out, it was informative.
I will hopfully get the time this weekend to hook it up, put the PSU back together and get some pics!
