i know how ill power mine, wire on each led leg, run it out the back of the drive and either connect it to a battery so it dont use power from the xbox or find a 3v power supply on the mobo and solder it. hard bit will be finding a home for the leds lol. havnt reli looked at the drives insides. there may be a suppy in the drive but then it may screw up the reading of disks

well thats what i thought but im not going to use single leds im lookin at a little strip of leds that i had floating around for my pc but have had power to the leds but its only as the tray opens or closes so only for a second im currently looking for a perm + supply i will update with some pics tonight the only other thing i have thought of is to run the + supply from outside the dvd drive and wire form fan maybe but i do want this to look neat so ill do it the hard way
