My friend has the NZXT ones and they seem great. 

 

Personally I use car LEDs, cheaper and comes as two separate 1ft strips, which I prefer over one long strip. However it requires DIY modding onto a female molex connector

Yeah, I've seen plenty of builds with them and they're quite cool + the added PCIe card to control them or switch them off completely is great. :)

Ah, what do they look like? Just curious. :)

Ah cool. Have you done any builds with them that you've posted in build logs or the "Show Off Your Setup" sub-forum? It'd be interesting to see. :)

I haven't done any build logs, too lazy to take pics, upload, and do a writeup :P

As you have chosen a Black/Red colour scheme you could get Red or White LED strips, personally I would suggest White if you want to show off your hardware, as red light will make the red parts look darker.

 

Check out my LED store located -HERE- 
Forum member Lays did a quick review in this topic - Click Here, and forum member jtai117 uses them in his computer, you can see the pictures he posted here - Click Here -
All LED strips are hand made by me and almost everything is customization, from power cable length (10cm to 2 meters), to connector type(3pin fan* or 4pin molex*), the power cable is also sleeved in High Density Black Paracord.
 

If you have any questions feel free to ask me here or in a private message.

Best LEDs hands down are darkside LEDs

NZXT hue are pretty subpar, they give off an uneven light

Specs: 4790k | Asus Z-97 Pro Wifi | MX100 512GB SSD | NZXT H440 Plastidipped Black | Dark Rock 3 CPU Cooler | MSI 290x Lightning | EVGA 850 G2 | 3x Noctua Industrial NF-F12's

Bought a powermac G5, expect a mod log sometime in 2015

Corsair is overrated, and Anime is ruined by the people who watch it
