what do you people think will look better?

Hello people, i have red led fans in my system and i wanted to add some led strips So that my system gains a little bit more life. I was wandering which LEDs would look better, white or red, since the LEDs from the fans are red, maybe the white LEDs strip might look better fusing the white with the existing red.

What do you people think?

Blue, make it a Spider-man build. Or just take your red LED fans and replace them with green ones and put green LED strips inside your case, because green is the best color.

But in all seriousness I guess just go with the ones you have already. White would be too boring imo, or buy ones that you can mix your own colors with (white would probably be able to do that).

Colored leds oversaturate everything, and only work if you are aiming for that kind of look.

For example if you dont have color coordinated cables, mobo, cpu cooler, .... etc you can throw in those red leds, so everything looks the same

 

If you want to point out details and colors of the build, the different materials, get white leds.

White LED's everyday. It highlights your builds colorscheme.

i vote for white. nicely lights up everything and fits in every build.

Red if you wanna match the fans or white if you want to light up the inside and show the true colors that are inside the case.

And what about the brands? Are the nzxt LEDs good? This is the only brand i find in my usual stores.

take yellow led strips and your fans will turn orange if they are bright enough

Seems like a cool ideia, but i'll go with the white LEDs to highlight my red and black theme! Maybe for a future build.
