Go to solution Solved by W-L,

I cant decide what LED colour to go with. I've tried red but it makes no contrast at all. It looks ugly. I'd like to go with something clean. Im leaning towards a light Blue or White

 

I would recommend white if your wanting to really see everything in the case, but if you can't decide you can get RGB lights which give you a selection of all possible colors, white though will not be as nice as pure white LED's since it will mix the colors red green and blue to make it.

My first reaction is always red (black + red with a maybe hint of grey is my favorite color scheme) but it depends on what you rig looks like, as I have no clue what colors you PC already has.

The Colour depends on your Hardware tho.

Definitely RGB, even if you're set on just one color you can still dial in the perfect shade.

 

Its expensive. and once ive set my mind, I will never touch it again.

I have picked white about 90% of the time when customers have asked me as white would allow you to see your hardware.
