I'm planning on getting LED strips to put in my case. I want your opinions on 3 things:

- How long should the strips be?

- What colour?

- I plan on getting 2 strips, bottom and top of the case. Or is 1 strip in the bottom enough?

 

This is the case i have:

I live in Belgium.

I have one LED Strip, 80cm long and it goes from the back side to the bottom, that is enough... Color? depends... but i recommend white, because normal colors kill the color scheme... Picture a blue oriented build with blue LEDs... the components would be completely "eaten" with the blue light and the color would not be that pronounced

Do you want to have your entire case lit or just your window?

 

Length: Case: 50cm, Window: 20cm

Color: Orange would be the best choice here I think.

Amount: I suggest a strip at the top and one at the bottom.

Current rig: CPU: AMD FX-8120  Cooling: Corsair H100i  Mobo: ASRock 970 Extreme 3  RAM: 8GB 1333Mhz  GPU: MSI GTX 660Ti Power Edition  Case: Fractal Design Define R4  Storage: 2TB Seagate HDD + 128GB Crucial SSD  PSU: be quiet! 730W bronze

The others are saying red/orange. I was thinking about those colours but what you are saying makes sense too :P damn this makes it even more difficult.

 

I think i'll go with 2 leds of 20 cm each. Just the colour now!
