Hey guys!

 

I know this topic is here many times, but I would like to ask it again. 

I am thinking of Obsidian 750D case, which has pretty big side window. I really want to use some LEDs in the case, and also behind the desk and the monitors. I found many methods, and that did kinda confuse me. 

What tips can you give me and basically, what method would be the perfect? Easy and efficient at the same time.

 

Thank you so much in advance.

Any LED strip will offer the least amount of space taken in the most inconspicuous space.
I use two Cold Cathode tubes which work well but aren't hidden as well.

If you wanted to DIY something you could get those LED kits off Amazon but for a finished solution, you could get LED's from Cable Mods or Addon Customs who has a kit specifically for this kind of setup.

Wow, I am really happy to hear so many replies! I think I figured out how to do it.

 

But the last question, what about connecting them to a power source? I mean, having some in case and behind monitors and the desk at the same time and connecting it where?

 

Maybe if I did connect some in PSU and did find some strips with adapters for the rest ones? Might this be my very solution?

With ours we can make the LEDs in the case have a short power cable, and the monitor and desk lights can have a power cable a couple of meters long, and you can choose between Molex or Sata and they can all plug inside your system, so when you turn on your computer all the lights come on at once, or you can just use a 12v wall adapter for the desk/monitor leds, which we don't sell but can help you find one.
