How do I use the Lumin Audio application from GGG?

I plan on connecting about 45 to 60 LEDs.   Randy indicated 5V from power supply was the way to go .....

Havok:

Yep - that settles that. If you don't want to tap the psu, then just pick up an ac-to-dc adapter, and cut the end off. For 60 LEDs, get one that can handle at least 1.2 amps

Kremmit:

If you were running a second power supply with a few LEDs on the 5v rail and nothing else, that could be why it died, and why the other one won't work.  Power supplies are expecting some draw, and on the 12v rail as well.  They aren't designed to run nothing more than a few LED's.

Have you considered something like this?  It's a mere $4.99.

While what you say might be true, the reason why my power supply failed was because a loose 5V "live" wire made itself inside the back of the power supply fan housing.   I had no idea this wire curved around and got itself stuck in there.   Needless to say I heard a "zap" and then nothing worked anymore .....  :P    I am quite confident this is why my power supply no longer works.

Great idea .... I have never seen something like this.    Might get this "PCI Power Bracket" thing ... thanks
