Ok I know this Should probably be in the Gamecube and Xbox and Etc Section, but this is more on just LEDs. Ok I am going to be putting In quite a Few Leds into my Cube to make it look pimped out, well I was wonder what is the limit on how many LEDs running off the GC's 12v Current and still have a functioning GC, because I was PLanning on putting 8 Green LEDs in the Controller slots, and if I still have Enough Power or Resist the LEDs some power, stick Some LEDs in the Cooling vents.
any answers or Comments?
oh and I would also Like them to be bright and not very dim.

If they're 1.5V LED's, just 8. LED's don't really cut down on current as much as they do voltage - The voltage rating is the voltage DROP. 1.5V drop * 8 LED's = 12V, which is a circuit that wouldn't require any resistors (so long as they're in series). At the proper voltage, they'd draw about 40mA.
