Hello all,

I am in the process of gathering info for my next mod project, which I hope will be soon, as I will be upgrading my system at the same time. :D

In any event, I am trying to figure out a way to use blue LED strobe lighting in or on my case. I have listed an eBay item number below and was wondering if there is any way of converting that for use in the computer or if there is something already out there that I am just overlooking.

I like the ability to use on/off switch and preferrably to change the speed (as below).

ebay item #380184074879

Any advice or tips would be appreciated! :?

Thats going to be BRIGHT!!! According to the description, it is a 12V system. Your PSU does put out 12V. The only thing I am not sure of is how much amperage the strobes will pull. If you have a pretty beefy powersupply it should be just fine, or you could use an old 12V power adapter. Either way .. it should be interesting.

Thanks for the reply. If not this, is there anything available to accomplish this that's a little lower? I am basically wanting to replicate blue/blue "police lights" and with the ability to control them through switches (along the lines of what is pictured on the eBay site).

I don't mind them being extremley bright, but just as long as I could stay in the room with them on ;) :D
