Hey guys just wanted to show you my prodigy after I put my window and alchemy lights in it. If you're wondering why the lights are so dim its because the window I put in it is tinted so dark you can't see the inside when the lights aren't shining...

Here is a pic with the system off just to show you how dark the window is

Sweet, I love the tinted window. That is something I will be doing to my case too, wont be tinting quite as dark as you did. But any tint is better than just clear imo, doesn't show as much when dirty and just sleeker overall.

Why don't you just use some clear piece of acrylic or a not so tinted one? 

 

PS: The Bitfenix LED strips are really bright. I don't thing that you will find something better than them.

Dude, those are pretty much the brightest LED strips money can buy. And you made them look dark.
