Has anyone seen purple LED's for sale anywhere? I just got a new Yamaha CD-RW and it has a dual, purple/blue led on it. I would like to do my case power on in purple(thats the power on colour of the cd), and the HDD in blue. I just NEED those purple LED's.

Not sure if 5mm will be too big for you though, my case takes 3mm!

I got some 5v 5mm blue LEDs, I think 2600mcd, from Radio Shack and they are indeed blue.

Two approaches that might work.

1. Get one red and one blue LED and set them up to shine through the same opening.
2. Get a tri-color LED (forget the store name, I'll find it). It's a 5mm LED with red, green, and blue elements. Turn on the red and blue ones and you have purple.

I thought this was done by varying the voltage through 1 element with different emmision levels which emit the differnet colours at the different voltages???
