Would this work?

I've never really done wiring myself... And do I need 1 resistor per circuit of 4 LED's? or just one?

I have neither :( Thats why I'm asking.

ahh, i thought i saw you post that you got some of the free led's from lsdiodes closing.

when i was (still am) working on my case psu window mod i put 5 led's in parralellel so i used a resistor for every led.

i think i would go either colour plexi with white led's or clear plexi with coloured led's. and of those i would try for the coloured plexi for a more even glow.

Free LED's???? Well it wasn't me but I wish I knew about it. I'm gonna ask my dad about the wiring tonight.

lsdiodes gave some away as they closed so a bunch of people got 10 free Led's.

as for the wiring i did mine like this for the psu mod.

And that goes right into a molex connector?

yup, on the 5volt line (red wire) use this resistor calculator to find out what resistance you need the source voltage (5v), diode forward voltage, diode forward current (mA).

just to be clear you only need to use 1 side, not both.

I like the idea of the stop-light mod. Heck, I love the idea. Completely original.

If you can pull it off, I would like to see how it turns out.

Currently, I think that a few zip ties and a round IDE cable would really help your current case out. Then again, I can't talk because the only cable management I've ever done is the ones coming out the back of my case (and up through the desk.)

Thanks :D. Although I am rethinking my origional idea about painting the case Black. Maybe the Stop Light Yellow would be a good alternative if i wanted to go for the real look. Hell maybe I'll even hang it if I do that LOL.

Ok Spawn... I'm gonna order some stuff in the next few weeks and try it out. Keep an eye on me :P

So I dont need to ground them?

yes you need a ground, i meant the picture i did in paint at the top i put 5v and ground twice i just wanted to be clear that you only need to power one side not both. i'm sure you knew that i just wanted to make sure.
