Thinking about getting some LED's for my case, its a Silent Base 800 and i thought it would be cool if the vents and cr*p glowing would be cool, what sorta LED's should i get in Australia that are good, green LED's are fine as thats all i would use probably but it needs to be something i can turn off and on.

Can't go wrong with CableMod's magnetic LED strips. Here's some from PCCG: http://search.pccasegear.com/search#w=cablemod

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

Basically. The CableMod one should have a remote in the $45 pack for easy control of your lighting effects.

Hey, you could take a look at our single colour and RGB leds on our store here - https://addoncustoms.com

We are UK based and prices are listed in GBP (British pound)  but we do get a lot of customers from Australia, due to our low prices and fair shipping, many have said its cheaper to buy from us and wait the 5 - 8 days delivery than buying locally.  

For example our 30cm RGB kit, that contains 2x 30cm LED strips, 2x 30cm cables, and a high quality RF remote, and shipping come to $39.95 Australian dollars.

and our 60cm kit which includes everything above but 2x 60cm strips instead of 2x 30cm strips, plus shipping comes to $47.40


But if you are only looking for green lighting then I would suggest a look at our single colour lighting which starts from $14 and shipping is only $8.

Our single colour LEDs also have over 1000 possible combinations to choose from, you pick the LED strip length, cable length, sleeving colour and connector type.

All our LEDs and cables are wired and sleeved by hand, and tested before being sent to ensure a working product reaches you. All our LEDs also come with adhesive foam, which is a lot stronger than the standard LED sticky back.

Your 2x30cm kit looks interesting https://addoncustoms.com/store/product/57-rgb-kit-2x-30cm-led-strips/
Though what powers it? just molex? and doesn it have a fan connector option that still uses the remote?

Besides that they look like a good option.

Sorry the power connector isn't listed in the photo as we are redoing all the images, but it is powered by 4pin molex but can throw in a molex to sata converter if you want it powered by sata, or although its not listed on the site I can switch the 4pin molex to a fan connector for you, which will still allow you to use the remote.

Very interesting, thank you man. Probably will look at it later on some time when i get a new SSD and second GPU and AIO for the CPO as i will be taking my case apart ect then and cleaning it as well so might be a good bet to do it all in 1 sitting.
Saved your site though and will keep this in mind.
