Lighting LED Fans & Cathodes

[kantlivelong]

ok i am gonna be buying led fans and i already have cathodes.. what i am wondering if theres is a baybus that just has on off capibilities.. and wondering if i can rewire the led fans to the baybus so they arent always lit when on.. i dont have much time nor $$ to make my own..

Yes, they do make a baybus with simple on/off switches. Wiring your CC lights to it is a piece of cake. Wiring your fans to it is a piece of cake. Wiring the fans and LED's seperately may not be so easy. It depends on what kind of fans you have. Can you see where the wires go to the LED's on the fans? Do you have enough room to seperate the wires? It may take a little soldering. Are you comfortable with that? You may want to try it on one fan before you go any further.

havent bought the fans yet.. any recommend sites? also about the baybus does it have metal switches.. heck if possible is there one that would fit a floppy drive, as i already have all bays taken :P
but if there isnt one that fits a floppy.. maybe it will be able to go wit my water cooling unit which is in the first bay.. its by swiftech it has the fill-bleed system . so yeah write back..

SVC is a good sight with good prices. Here are the fan controllers... http://www.svc.com/fanandtemman.html

And the fans are on the bottom of this page... http://www.svc.com/colcatfluorl.html

by the way i already have a digital doc 5 i just need something to handle the leds on the fan

maybe something like a fan controller could control the brightness of the leds and cathodes?

i have 4 antec tri-led fans and i love 'em but for your idea they wouldnt work without a lot of modification as the LEDs and fan are all wired together.. you may be able to change that.. i'm not too sure as i havent taken a good look at one to see how hard it would be

[kantlivelong]

see thats the downside with most lighting components.. they are always on!!!!
1. makes some heat...
2. uses power
3. cant sleep easy wit a big box of light staring at you(comps in my room...)
