Hard Drive Activity LED
I want to tap the HDD Activity Header on the Mobo and install an LED in the drive cage that would be viewable through the case window (Thermaltake Soprano RS101).
__________________Anyone know the voltage for the HDD LED header? It's not listed in the Mobo manual...just says essentially "plug it in here"... Thanks!

I don't think the voltage will really matter for an LED, they are all essentially around the same voltage. I would just hook it to where you'd normally put the HD LED on the motherboard.

/agree.
In most LED's they are generally running the same voltage, and it's a voltage that your motherboard is readily equipped to handle. Just plug it in and go!

The header is 3.3v
LEDs are generally 3-3.6v. It is close enough not to matter.

Done.
__________________Picked up a 5mm 3000mcd red LED (rated 3.7v) and a 5mm holder from Radio Shack, spliced it in parallel with the front panel HDD light, drilled a hole and placed it at the bottom of the HDD bays...looks decent and now I can see HDD activity from the side of the case.
