white Leds -_- 5.49??

If you're making a portable you probably need something to watch it on. (Unless you want to guess what's happening in the game, but I wouldn't advise that) Anyway, this forum is your "Hacking a pocket TV/screen" one-stop solution. Share your experiences and knowledge here.

I got mine on eBay, $10 for 50 of them with free shipping from Hong Kong.

Search the forums; I think there might be a link in my SNESp thread.

Sorry, I have been up for ~26 hours & I feel too tired to grab the link...

some dollar stores sell little flashlights that have one white LED and a watch battery for only a dollar! even if they arent as bright, you can put in 4 of those to every 1 RS one and still save money.
