The best case lighting is no lighting.  ;)

My Pc: Cpu: I7 4790k @ 4,8 Ghz @1,25 volts, Motherboard: Maximus VII Formula, Graphicscard: 2x Titan X @1,4 at stock voltage (soon to be replaced), Ram: 32 gb Corsair Dominator Platinum 2133 Cl 9, SSD: 2x 850 Pro 1 Tb in Raid 0, 2x Samsung 840 Evo 1 tb raid 1,, PSU: Corsair HXi Series 1000W 80+ Platinum, Case: H440. Soon to be watercooled again, maybe, probably, the Titans are too loud.

Yes Bitfenix has a great reputation for creating awesome lightning as well as Phoybia just choose one that is the right amount size, colour. Also make sure the connector which should be a 4pin-molex.

In my case I'm using some cheap Chinese car LED strips. They are not super bright, but they do a decent job of lighting up inside the case. So yeah, go and buy any kind of LED strips, which are 12V.

Either of the Bitphenix or Phobya ones would be nice. Or if you're ballsy enough to do your own wiring (properly) and hook up custom switches, you can order your own medium-high density LED strips and go that route.

I have a friend who is using a cheap cathode, NZXT Hue, and the NZXT sleeved LED kit. The colours of the hue, and the brightness are actually outstanding :D The cathode is OK, but this one isn't the greatest colour, and they are fragile. The sleeved kit has very far spaced LEDs, so I would recommend not having them in direct view, instead used as a glow :)
