Hi everyone,

I just finished my first game PC and now want to make my setup cooler. I want to make RGB strips behind my desk but I'm not sure which one to use. 

I also want to light my case more up on the inside which LED strips. Which one do I need for the case?

Thanks!

Cablemod's magnetic RGB strips are easily the best case lighting I've seen/used. I strongly recommend them.

Yes, and the prices are the same so I can't say I care.

It is bright and RGB. You only have a remote laying around. To power the LED strip i bought a molex connector and solderd it. Result in the picture20170318_113350339_iOS.jpg
