Dear Xbox-Scene users,

I want to add additional 5mm LEDs on the RF module. Since I'm building a Xbox360 in an ATX-PC case.
I bought this Red Ringed beauty last week and fixed it. But since I was looking for some kind of an project I thought lets never let this box Red Ring again by building it in a PC case with additional cooling.

But to let the Ring of Light be visible from outside of the casing I need to extend the Leads of the LEDs to the front(Won't extend the whole module because this will give me some problems with timing and controller responsiveness). I don't want to remove the original leds because I might need them in the future and I think it looks quite cool if they are visible tough the glass window in this PC case.

But since these LEDs are PWM driven. Does anyone know if the microprocessor can supply current for 2 LEDs? did anyone try my idea? I can't find any schematics so I can't verify my idea.

I saw some people preforming my idea, but they didn't post the results:
Link 1
Link 2

This is currently my setup. still some things to do
