Default Leds
Got a question for you led guys, how many 10w leds could I safely run off of a computer power supply?

I'm not an LED guy but I can tell you it will likely depend on the wattage of the PSU, as well as the amperage of the 12v rail (if that's what you're running it off of).

Depends on wattage of power supply and forward voltage of LED's. What would you use for drivers?

Find Eli's build thread, I believe he used 10 watt LEDs. I'd post on his thread or PM him for more details on his DIY.
