Hey guys, i recently decided to build a secondhand somewhat-ok looking pc. Im a beginner when it comes to cable management, lighting and modding in general.

So it would be cool to get ideas on how to light up this small itx case. I personally dont like to see the direct light from the leds.

I never knew working with two glass panels would be such a pain. Till now xD

Oh any other tips would be great as well :)

Ps. The cpu fan will be changed. And i have no gpu right now.

I put one led in the roof shining down and one in the floor shining towards the back. I would recommend buying led strips and position them in the case in different locations and see where you like them most.

If you haven't already chosen your LEDs you can check out my store AddonCustoms.com pick the LED colour, powercable length and connector (3pin fan or 4pin molex)  They will then be hand made and sent to your door, then all you need to do is plug them in to your computer.
