Cablemod has strips that are advertised as compatible with it, so they're a safe bet.

I don't think so, you could look at getting a different case that has sufficient glass and get case fans like these that are compatible.

I believe the reason the Corsair fans aren't compatible has something to do with pin polarity and voltage, if im not completety wrong.

@Helitagging our LED strips are ASUS Aura compatible with the included adapter in the packaging.

The Crystal cases would be just fine for our strips as well, as there is steel construction throughout the case for the strips to grab on to.

I have the Corsair 570x and the included sp120 RGB are not Asus Aura compatible. out of the box the only way to change the color is to use the three buttons at the top of the case Options are fairly limited though You can use a Corsair Lighting Node Pro to manage them in Corsair Link, which is another option. As the lighting node pro comes with LED strips, if you install them you will be able to control both the strips and the fans in corsair link.

 

For the Sp120 RGB fans, each of them have 2 cables (non-PWM power and LED control). The LED cable connects to a controller that comes with the case. From there, you can go to the buttons at the top of the case or to a lighting node pro controller.

 

In my case, I changed the included fans for HD120. I find the color more bright and they are PWM ;) Be aware that the LED controller for the fans aren't compatible between the two, but both are controllable using the lighting node pro ^^

Yes all the fans will fit. Problem is you won't be able to control the LED strips + HD fans + SP fans with one Node Pro. The node pro has only 2 plugs on it x)    I have the same problem, I got one for the HD fans and the led Strips, but I need a second one for the SP fans :( 

 

Be aware that if you use a radiator and want to put it in the top spot, it will be really tight with the RAMs. You won't be able to do push-pull in the top if you have high-profile RAM sticks. This was also a problem for me, I wanted to install there a corsair h100i v2 in push pull, but there isn't enough space.
