Case Lighting Sugestions?

[parshnip]

Hey guys! I was thinking about getting a window for my NZXT Phantom and I was looking for suggestions for lighting. I have the Phantom with Red accents (or maybe I'll upgrade to a Switch 810), so I was debating between Red or White LEDs. I want red cuz it looks cooler if it has that glow effect, although I'm not sure if any type of LED or Cathode provides a nice soft glow. Also, I don't want the red lighting to make my components indistinguishable, which is why I was thinking of white LEDs or Cathodes. Any suggestions gladly appreciated. (also price isnt really a factor)

How about using white to highlight the things you want to show and red for the general glow elsewhere. You can also change the current limiting resistors to make them brighter or dimmer to suit.

If you're feeling really adventurous, you can buy your own LEDs off the bay for very small amount (like £20 for 100), and build your own light strip

I would suggest either getting a replacement NZXT kit or maybe trying a couple of Bitfenix Alchemy Aqua LED strips. Try and place them out of view in the case for a glow effect.
