NZXT H500 case lights

Zero158adf

So I am looking for some good case lights that have a remote and colors can be changed. I have the NZXT H500 case and I am wondering what lights I should buy and how I should install them.

 

The glass panel has no edges and you would be able to see the lights if you put them around it, I just need some advice on how I should install them to look best.

 

What my case looks like:

Any old RGB strip will do, just route the strips creatively. You can addressable RGB strips(Assuming ur board has a header for it), standard 12v RGB strip, etc. etc. My case is a pretty extreme case of having nowhere to hide a strip but I manage. If you can do it neatly with tight tolerances, even if you can see the strip it still looks pretty and fitting.

I can probably figure a way to route them, what rbg strips are you using?

To be honest, I haven't a clue. They were gifted to me 3 years ago and I used them as ambient room lighting until I tore them down to throw in my PC

These are basically the same things.

The glass panel is blacked out around the edges.

Can't you see?

theres nothing behind the black parts, just the case edge. You cant fit anything between it either I tried to but its like a half cm gap.

 

Also you would definitely be able to see the light strips clear as day

Between what?

What are you talking about?

Just put the strips on the case hidden behind the black parts of the window...

Like you would with any other case...
