ew.. 24 bucks

Just make your own led line

check out www.casemodgod.com

it has the led layout of what combonations to plug into a 12v molex... and you can make some switches to turn diff lights on

and for cheap leds look at www.voyeurmods.com

but if your not to good with a soldering iron, or just flat out dont want to, than yea take leds over CCFL's.. god mine adds so much heat
