If you're ordering surface mounted RGB LEDs, make sure they already come with pre-soldered resistors.

They usually cost about the same, but you don't run the risk of frying the LED, and there's no need to manually wire up resistors anymore.

Good: the right one

@fribbledom Knowing me when I order them I'll prolly have to buy the non-pre-soldered ones because I'll have to attached them myself in the limited space and weight of the system TnT.
