A few questions about case lighting

Hey guys, I've been looking at different products to help light the inside of my NZXT H440 (the blue black one). Still not decided on colors though blue or white is probably looking at here. I've looked at different rgb solutions from deepcool, which come with 2 strips a molex to 12v adapter and a wireless controller with remote. But this deepcool solution costs around $16 bucks which I feel is a bit of a rip off since all they did was buy a cheap strip and controller and slap branding on it. Should I just get individual parts off of amazon, or do you guys have any lighting suggestions?

 

Also my components are mainly black besides the asus z97-a motherboard which has gold/bronze accents

 

 

Basically,

#1 do you think I should go with blue or white for led's or get an rgb strip

#2 besides led lighting should I go with a cold cathode instead?

#3 any lighting products out there you would recommend?

#4 any places to grab rgb led strips with controller and molex to 12v cables on the cheap?

Hi, I actually used the NZXT Hue for my H440. Took out the 3x120mm fans and slapped in 2x140mm fans so I could access the HUE when I took the front panel off. I just let it sit at the bottom of the front of the case. I figure if I get lighting strips anyway I'm not going to be able to adjust the so I did kinda of a ghetto setup :D

Are you components themed? Cause if it's a blue build, I would grab white LEDs since it would bring out the blue accents and not drown it in a blue light. Unless you can find a very soft blue led, that would be neat too.
