I saw a website about a week or so ago that sold LED's in packs of 250, really cheap. Can anyone link me up??
 
Word of warning... don't buy RGB LEDs from them. I bought 50, about 5 of them had a defective die (either blue or green in my cases) and the water clear lenses are crappy. If you have a choice, buy ones with diffused (milky) lenses instead of clear. There are different viewing angles for each of the colors. This is a characteristic of clear lenses and is present in EVERY water-clear RGB LED sold. Because of the physics of lenses, differing projections are unavoidable. When placing a light source behind a convex lens (such as the dome of a LED), any position displaced from the exact center will lead to a change in the displacement of the projection. You may see that this with single-die LEDs, but it is more apparent (and unavoidable) with multi-die LEDs. I say avoid them if you can.

I'm still looking for cheap diffused RGB LEDs... If anyone can point me in a good direction, please let me know!

cool.. I bought about 25 UV Led's from some guy on E-bay for about 5 bucks. He even through in a resistor for 1 cent each. They are bright and good for many things.
