Hi, I have a PowerMac G4 Sawtooth that I use as kind of an "experimental" machine. So I came up with an idea of changing the power button's LED or whatever makes it light up's color. First off, is this even possible? Has anyone ever tried this? If it is, then where would I get parts to do so? Thanks!!
Got a tip for us?

You said you'd like to change the color of the LED, then you say you'd rather not open the box or 'tear it apart'?
I'm sure you can replace the LED with another similar LED although the dimensions and such may not be exact. I do not know the sizes...could end up just being a standard LED.
Since it's an 'experimental machine' just open it up and take a look around.
Sorry, bad wording on my part. I meant I'd rather not tear it apart to have it not work. But thanks, I'll look around on ebay or something.
You could always stick on a clear coloured gel (red,green,blue,etc) to the outside. Something similar to the red/blue coloured gel in old 3-D glasses.
