I've had good luck with strips off ebay. Pretty much the same exact products sold for loads more by brands here in the states.

Just need to know how to solder.

If you want to DIY it getting RGB strips off Ebay or Amazon are a good option, for premade RGB kits ones from Modguru or Icemodz are really good.

*shrug*

you want RGB lighting which your post implies you are going to have to pay a bit of a premium for it. 

The only other options imo are jank as hell/require a remote.

What I mean is a led strip brand line, that comes in all colors.

I saw NZXT braided LED strips with a PCI brightness controller that I like.

Anyway I dont know why am even asking.......

Will be not doing a build for a very long time I think...

those strips are a POS dont buy them

they have horrible quality and the light isnt even good or even

 

bitfenix has a lot of colours, and its less than $20 per strip

much higher quality, much brighter, smoother lighting, but no controller so its always on

darkside also makes good LED strips, idk their prices though

K thanks, still I have no idea why am asking....

I doubt I will be able to afford a PC for a very long time I have C$10 to my name. Or that somebody else will reply to my ad to get a PC built. Took 4 months before someone came to me and I did a FX 6300 and 380 build. God I miss that computer, frist one that I ever did, and could actually play video games. Not some 6 year old PC that I have with 4 x 1gb sticks of ram.....

Ffs...

If your looking for LED's the can create the colors of the rainbow RGB versions are the on you want to be looking for if you just want single color LED's then those are a fair bit simpler and tend to cost a bit less.
