I personally use the nzxt sleeved 200cm blue led and I have found them to be quite decent. There are many options though. For your one you may need 2 2m strips though haha.

Looking forward to seeing how this one pans out :).

As for the switch and the lighting, I have a switch like the one shown and I have found them to be of good quality and have a satisfying click. As for the LED's, I have the ones recommended and I will admit that they are very good at being bright and blue. They have 3 brightness levels and I usually find myself picking one of the 2 lower settings. If you're going with a coloured light, then I would recommend that you have another light source such as LED fans because the light *can* be very intrusive.
 
Looking good mate. As far as LED's go, personally I've had 2 lots of the NZXT light strips and in all Honesty they're crap, there isn't enough actual led's on them. You would be better off getting the cheepo strips from Amazon/EBay, or the Silverstone. They have a sticky backing and ar a lot easier to hide than the NZXT. With the NZXT one, you have to have the switch in a PCI bracket, so you are limited on where the strip starts because of it being plugged into the rear of the case. The 3 stage brightness is in theory a nice touch, but that sucks too.
 
Yea, looking to have it almost finished early this week. I will decide on lighting as my last thing to do. tommorow i am going to fix this together just too see how it looks, then once i have my carbon fibre vinyl to inside the case ill wack that in and paint the box ect. thanks for the feedback.
 
It will be fine mate, what I usually do on case windows after taking off the film is to wipe it over with a drop of fabric softener/conditioner on some kitchen towel, the fabric conditioner is anti static, so it stops dust sticking. This also works great on TV's monitors, anything, glass desk tops anything that is shiny really. You can also use those tumble dryer sheets too.
 
Havent installed them yet, also the sabertooth has a nice chunky backplate which holds mobo off the bottom :)
