NZXT sleeved LED's

spwath

Are they any good? Anything better for price? Will it look spotty from the LED's?

I would be getting them in white.

As long as the LED's are hidden they look great, the light is relativly even. I also love the inclusion of a pci bracket, 2 secs I'll get a pic.

if by spotty you mean like this than yes. personally i think they are garbage compared to 300 or 600 LED strips

What are some nice white LED's you would recomend for an entire case that are not too expensive?

any generic 3528 strips or 5050 strips price really comes into how you plan to power them and the length you want. you can get some cheaper 3528 5m 300(60LED/m)led strips for around 20-30$

 

for your average mid tower you only need around 2 metres or less

Phobya makes some nice ones for around the same price, I would reccomend them over the NZXT because it contains miles more LEDs.

How long would i need it to light a case, such as the ft04?

 

Also, how would theese work in the corners? http://www.frozencpu.com/products/10654/lit-218/Logisys_24_Corner_LED_Light_Bar_-_12V_-_White_LCX24WT.html?tl=g6c77s1165#blank

I would say 1 along the top and 1 running top to bottom, By the looks of it they don't bend so I doubt would work well in the corners, but I'm not 100% i've never used them.

based on the dimensions of the the case you can prob get by with a 30cm on top and a 30cm on the bottom or 12inchs if you are not into metric

the only diifference i can guess is the degree kelvin on the light produced with the "sunlight" most likely being closer to pure white

the only problem with RGBs is that they can never give you pure white as its combining multiple colours to get white
