I want to make my HDD activity LED into 2 leds. Can I just use the same size or should I go smaller? Will they stay as bright if I use the same size? What size is a standard HDD led in a cheapo case?

Size depends on you, and the brightness depends on what MCD you buy and what your current led is. I suggest changing them both with the same spec led to retain the same brightness. 2600ish MCD will be a good light level. Standard leds are usually 5000.

My LEDs are 3mm. And probally whats in your case aswell. Just take a ruler to them.

adding two will slightly dim then me thinks but not by much. and as always if you don't have your led's yet you can get them cheap at LSdiodes.com (http://www.lsdiodes.com/), no need to rep me STGM :D.
