    well ofcourse. Either 1 12volt resister or 4 3volt resistors per molex.

    ok, lets stop posting ignorance for a second, there is no such thing as a 12 volt or 3 volt resistor.

    resistors are rated in ohms and there are many places where you can google up the actually math to get the numbers right instead of guessing. You need to know whether you are making a series or parallel circut. I'm not going to look up the specifics but do not listen to a 3-poster shooting from the hip.

    I'm not disagreing with you but alot of sites say that the resistor is a 12v or 5v resister.

    One called also be creative an use a Serial Port LED arrangement (say 5 LED's all wired to a serial port) and have them all look perty and flash... if your interested, www.hackaday.com and look up Winamp serial controls, they are essentually the same thing, just a bit of driver hacking etc

    as for me i'm getting an Antec P180 Silver (You know, the case that looks like a refridgerator) this week so i've got no reason to mod
