Hi,  I'm looking to add white lighting to my c70 but have no idea what length of strip to get! either 12 or 30cm. I don't want the inside of the case to be blindingly bright, just looking for enough light to see the components. Included some pics, any input would be great, thanks.

I would go for the 30cm and tuck it under the lip of the side panel.

12 is plenty, I got 30 and it's a bit bright for my taste, check the pictures in my Sig, mines the C70  as well. You should mod that window, the vent things are so ick.

12 it is then! you could always put black tape over some of the LED's? Modding the window is on my list of things to do, along with, getting the gpu cable extensions, painting the cd drive black, and

the front

I should still stealth my drive, inside and out. Maybe that'll be a weekend project for me. I might try to dim the LEDs indeed, 30 is super strong haha

12 is good for 1 side. grab 30 then provide even lighting. dim them but equal lighting looks nice :D
