What are some good and cheap LED strips? I would get something like a NXZT hue+ but I probably need to start saving for a car.

Looking for blue and needs to look good in a H440

 

Or is the Hue+ worth it

I have a ton of USB Chinese Ebay strips and they're nice but the Hue+ came in tonight and its definitely worth it. Software is buggy as hell but when you get it set its awesome.

Does it need a USB 2.0 header?

Yeah. I think Jay did a video where he said there is a regular usb dongle for it so it can go outside the case.

Yeah bummer. Maybe try fans now since they're great at lighting cases. The Corsair are my favorites because they light from the center out

If you want something like the NZXT hue+, check out my project. The end result is almost like a hue+ for about 20 bucks worth of parts. Its still a work in progress, I will post an upgrade this afternoon. Cheers!
