Is this possible? Attaching some leds to a stock black fan instead of buying a new led fan? Where would you attach the leds to and how many is too much on one fan? Thanks.
 
It wouldn't make much sense, since LED fans use the clear plastic to show off the light. The only way to do it would be to drill some holes in the casing of the fan, put some LEDs in, and wire them to a molex connector with maybe a resistor in the line to reduce the current.
 
Not sure if it's just me or not, but the svc site hasn't been working for me for about 3 days now so i can't view what you posted there sterVin. Not sure why, any suggestions? =/
 
hopefully I wont get hunted down or something by SVC, but here is a pic to give you the idea..
