So A few weeks ago I bought an NZXT Hue and I am contemplating whether to install it or not because alot of people say they are terrible quality, and some say they are the best. In sweden it was only possible to buy the for 400(SEK) which is 60$ USD which is TOTALY overpriced (bought it anyway). Was hoping you could share your experiences with it to convince me it was worth 60 bucks.

they are great IMO, though I don't use them in my case anymore, because they bothered me.

I now use them behind my TV, and it's great. makes some atmosphere. :P

I've got it and I reckon the quality is alright. LED's are bright and the colours are nice. Only complaint is that the LED strip's adhesive isn't that great.

If you're talking about build quality, in my opinion it sucks.

 

When i got mine two of the knobs didn't work and I only had a choice of about 6 colours. Buttons weren't pressable and the entire thing felt quite cheap.

 

It was a faulty product, yes, but still, the build quality is quite bad. Too bad there's nothing else on the market to compete with it.

There sort of is. Those RGB LED's with controllers but need to be plugged into a power socket. Good thing about those is that you can make multiple runs like you can have LED's in your case and LED's on your desk or behind your monitor. They're cheaper too.

I guess I meant all-in-one, because yes, that is a good replacement.
