Lighting effects for my modding plan?

Go to solution Solved by cravinmild,

UV Green (tubes) is pretty bright from what ive seen.  I use white UV tubes and it lights the whole desktop up, ended up removing one because of it.  I love case lighting ... any lighting really.  The tube lighting like mine can come in different lengths, longer tubes equal more light.  Those cheapy LED lights can illuminate an area of the case without having it lighting the whole case up.  I bought some lighting strips from IKEA normally used for backlighting on a TV, they change color and they will blind you if you look directly at it.

Just stick with bitfenix alchemy strips :) my ones hurt my eyes when I have my side panel off.

Dang, I am going to have a tough time deciding :) Thanks for the help!
