I use a white activity LED to go along with the blue PWR LED in mine. I personally didn't ike the way the red looked with the blue in mine.

Red doesn't look nice IMO. I would place a same blue one. You would see the differance because the powerLED is always on and the IDE-LED is either out or flashing during activity.
However I like BigBlue suggestion too.
Succes.
BTW I changed the keyboard LEDs to blue too. Looks really cool!! | |

I like the red  Call me crazy. I just had to put the blue in a sleeve so that it would not interfere with the red and make it a nice purple. That blue is really nice. I used a 3.7V high output, and it is bright, like 1.19 at radioshack for 2 of them. | |

I'm installing a blue power LED and red IDE HD activity light (and hopefully a red LED for SCSI HD light in the summer when I have time). Gotta use 3mm LEDs because it's easier to install them in my case. What's so wrong with this combination?? I'm just curious, as I can easily change it. | |
