LED or Lighting Kit For My Case

JimmyzHoopz

How should I go about illuminating my case? Specs in my sig. I was either going to get Corsair AF and SP fans all around and use a lighting kit, or possibly 3 LED AF120's on the front of the Air 540? Only problem is that the light would not be even unless I put a rear led fan, and I hate how those look. I would like to avoid heavy modding, and would prefer to not use led fans as I don't much care for them. However, I don't know of many options that suit what I need. What do you guys suggest?

Bitfenix Alchemy strips. Tuck them as close to the sides of the case as possible so it doesn't shine straight into your eye, rather it emits light.

I personally use led strips and have them lined around the sides of my case, they do a pretty good job.

same here, they come with 3m tape pre-applied and are easy to install.

5$ free shipping, he has all the colours of the rainbow...

only down side to this is that it can (will) take weeks before you get them...i sometimes ordered stuff that took up to 5 weeks to deliver...but usaly takes around 2 weeks:
