Case LED Layout

[Geralt]

Hey guys, I was just wondering how you guys put your LED strips in your cases. I often hear people pasting their LED strips above the window of the side panel. How do you run the cables for it in such a way that it hides away from sight?

I put my LEDs on the sides and top.

The best usually is on the top and bottom but as long as it doesn't reflect off of surfaces or you have direct line of sight of the LED's itself since they are very bright. Cables aren't too bad if they are on the chassis since you can sleeve or tuck them away with cable clips, on the side panels they can be a little trouble since you have to unplug before removing the panel.

Yeah I currently have the same setup too but if I were to paste them on the side window instead, will it illuminate the innards more than if I were to place it at the top and bottom?

I just have one strip on the top. It has a cable running out the water loop holes and out to the wall.

It should be brighter if placed on the side panel. But if anything is in the way (Cables, etc), it will drop the brightness a lot.
