[simpits-tech] Resistor for LEDs?

[Stig Joergensen]

Ben

I agreee, but it was my understanding that it was a computer PSU but the
PSU is not going to be used in the computer anymore....

and on a side note.... you will not find a more stable PSU (ripple/noise
wise) than that from a computer - and most of them have a rather big
current capacity (more than 25A on 5v and more than 8A on 12V)

Guys,

Can i suggest from a electrical background , not using your computer
power
supply to power led's and there associated resistors,
for the simple factor that if you have a "misfortune" with a led or
associated wiring having a blow out or melt down , this could cause the
power supply to your pc to either fail or cause dammage to the boards if
a
spike was created.
