I plan to get the NZXT Hue+, and my case is made out of aluminum so I have no idea how it will stay attached if it uses magnets. Anyways, was having trouble deciding whether or not I should get additional LED case fans, in addition to the Hue+. Maybe overkill, idk, im trying to decide whether its too much or if it'll look god damn beautiful. I need advice. Here is my pc case and what other people have done. https://pcpartpicker.com/builds/by_part/vzNypg

The magnets won't stick to the aluminum at all. The best "decorating" you can do is paint in my opinion. Not as scary as it seems, just a little effort and patience.

Just get a simple white LED strip. It will give you the best results and it's all you need. They're usually the brightest ones as well.

Mind sending some pics of what it looks like right now? hard to judge what would look cool only with a case to look at...

 

For example, I have the OG hue in my case, and because of the fact, I laid off putting led fans as well...

I dont have access to my desktop right now, and I dont have any pictures of it in the dark, but in certain situations, the internal light "bleeds" out of the front fan areas. This makes it seems like the fans are glowing dimly, which is why I didnt bother with led fans.

 

Also if you take the route of painting your case, then plastidip is pretty good, as it lets you peel off the paint if you dont like the color/ end up selling the case later.
