    changing LED question

    Hello, I recently painted my case black because I got tired of beige, and now I want to change the LED's for the power light and the hdd activity. Thing is, they're not like any that I've ever seen, they're square tipped, not rounded. So how do I go about finding new ones and putting them in. I have never soldered anything either...

    Any 3.0 to 3.7v LED will probably do. I used a 3.7 volt when I changed my mouse's LED.
