Linking LEDs up for a case mod

[brontor825]

Hello folks, just wondering if anybody had any idea how i should wire up some LED's, basically i want to be able to have 9 orange lights and i have a feeling that i'd have to combine red and yellow LEDs as i havent seen any orange ones, but i dont really have any experience designing circuits or anything like that really. But i can solder so that isnt so much of a problem. Any help on this matter would be much appreciated.

Also is it easier to sand the case before you start cutting it?

Thanks again

What are you powering them with, your PSU? I saw somewhere tri-colour LEDs and they can do orange..

Orange LEDS should be readilly avaliable from most electronics shops. I have a pile of them here, at about $0.75 each. Dave a look around and see-you should be able to find them.

I ALWAYS buy my LEDs of eBay, cost me 7 bucks for 100 5mm super bright blues. Do the math. Thats 7 cents an LED, forget about paying 2 bucks a piece.
