Since early January.

is this worth me trying im a novice the only thing ive modded is my controller

This is so easy. The only hard thing is the plexi.

I have a question of what resistor you used, sorry I am not a electrical person thanks


heres a diagram its the soder points of the actual power connection on the xbox 360 motherboard, if you use a 4 pin molex and soder the wires here you will be pulling power directly from psu and nothing from the 360 itself. great for extra fans.

Where can I buy the resistor you used easier than hunting it down, be great if you still had the site thanks!

Wait... so i have noticed that there is a resistor in the pics.
would I need one, if so what kind?

Just use a resistor calculater

It appears to be the exact same images used, with just some slightly reworded steps...

Did any one care to look at the bottom of the two tutorials? Both state that we did not make this tut and we gave credit to different sites as to where we got it from.

I know I'm just saying they're the same thing..

[punkskater2448]

Difference is that one is dug supper deep in this site and mine was newly posted. I didn't see that one at all when I made this one.

Nice TUT,

I'm going to put a small flip switch on the side of mine so I can turn em off cause LEDs sometimes bug me although I'm a sucker for em. =D

[punkskater2448]

I never thought about that. Thats a really good idea. Or a switch so you can change the color of them.. ah I think I found my next project!!

You really only need 1 resistor. A resistor is used for security, they protect against the LED's drawing too much power. Put one between the first LED and the power supply. That should be fine.

[Shadowen316]

which size resistor? please tell! and also after you connect the first led to the yellow/black wire and resistor, do you connect the rest off of the first led's wires?

[Lew2290]

Just a added thing, maybe you should mention something about resistors and where they go like, on the positive or negative wires.. just for people that don't know.
