   powersupply for the existing LEDs is most probably 5V through a series   
   resistor, so just replacing the leds should work.  the new leds may not   
   light to full brightness but will probably look good none-the-less.   
   There's no risk of damage to the PC by this modification as long as you   
   take due care.
