Hey, i'm not really a newb to case modding but i am faced with something i haven't done before... I have to buy resistors... lol. I thought it would be easy but there are so many ohms and different things that i got lost. Up untill now i have been just desolating resisters out of old surround sound systems and amplifiers so i haven't had to buy any. I don't really use cathodes, just LEDs from 3mm to 5mm, i use 6 on jewls, and connect all 4 in the controller ports to the same hot and negative, and 4 together on the same hot and negative on everything else aswell. So do i have to use different ohms for more or less LEDs? I guess with the way i have been doing it it doesn't matter, but i want to make sure i am getting the best out of my lights. Thanks again!!
