Help Deciding on Case Lighting.. Should I go White? or UV?


My build is finally coming to an end. Even though it has been up and running for a couple months it's still not "complete". I have my two 980 water blocks and backplates in hand which were one of the last things I needed.

 

However the final piece to this build would be the case lighting, which I'm having trouble deciding. So I figured I would turn to the forum to see what you guys think would look the best. I will be getting at least two 12" led strips (top/bottom) or possibly 4 (all sides).

 

Should I go white (which fits with the rest of the build) ? Or should I go UV? ( would add some color and bring out the white sleeving and piping)? 

 

 

Also in some of the pictures the light coming from the fans looks blue but it is actually a white light.

After seeing the pictures I would go for white.

I would go for white LED's
Maybe you should look into RGB LED strips, If white start's to bore you, you can easily switch the color or reuse them in an other build.
Worth the extra money for me.

I would be concerned that the white light produced buy RGB wouldn't be of high quality. In some of the RGB products I have had their white light is more of a light blue.

I don't suggest RGB for White lighting they tend to show or reflect the R,G,B colors off surfaces making it looks less clean in my opinion. I would say if you have UV tubing that would look really nice but it needs to be dark so the LED's on the fans would need to be turned off to get a nice effect.
