i am looking for a source for those little black plastic LED holders like they sell at radio shack. look here: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index ... age=search

anyway, i like them a lot better than the metal LED bezels. i think they look less "DIY," you know? anyway, i like em, and radio shack charges friggin $1.29 (plus tax) for a pack of five!!! i mean, that's like $.26 a piece! the metal ones are only $.50!!!

anyway (again), if anyone knows where i could buy a bunch of these for cheap, i would appriciate it. especially if it was mouser, since i'll probably be placing an order with them soon.

Fuzzdawg,

Try this Mouser part number and tell me what you think:

351-0001-RC

It looks like the money shot to me. They start at 15 cents a piece too.

actually, i think this one is closer to the radioshack one:

351-0003-RC

the rs holder snaps into place, but also has two arms that the LED snaps into. i'll try them and let y'all know.
