Well I rather just wire the strip into the back of the mobo and here is the rgb strip 

Yeah that will work no problem

What should I get something that just plugs into the mobo or just a cheap RGB strip with USB and plug it in on the inside? Also is there any point to RGB lightning in a non windowed side panel case?

Reminder⚠️

I'm just speaking from experience so what I say may not work 100%

Please try searching up the answer before you post here but I am always glad to help

Getting something that plugs into the motherboard is definitely the simplest hardware wise, but might be limiting depending on the software. If your case has no window the lighting seems kinda pointless, unless you mount it externally i.e under the case.

To RGB, or not to RGB? That is the question.

Well the case has a lot of air holes so it would be visible but there an easy way to just make the USB cable way work

Do you mean a strip that plugs into the internal USB header?

It's a normal USB port

Okay. That is not something I have heard of. But I guess it should work fine.

 

You could get an internal USB 2.0 to external adapter and plug it in inside the case?

Using the motherboard header seems like a more elegant solution though.

Would it work with this?

Since I don't know what you are asking would work, I can't answer that.

Plugging USB RGB strip into that :D

Yes. But which USB RGB strip? And what is that NZXT hub?

It's one from a local store and the hub is something I saw while browsing

As I said. I cannot answer your question if I don't know the specs of the products. Can you link it to me? (Unless it is in Finish, I don't understand that)

Good then I'm settling for that one another thing is that it is black so it will blend with the case
