Okay so here is the situation... Bitfenix's LEDs cost $39.99 for 60cm. NZXT have some sleeved LED kits of 1m (that's 100cm) for $19.99 and I can turn them on/off with the included controller. Are Bitfenix's LEDs higher/beter quality? Or am I missing somthing here?

What do you mean they're garbage, could you please explain?  :huh:

I have a set of NZXT lights. The lighting is uneven, the sleeve feels cheap, the PCI slot cover shorts on my motherboard, and they are overall cheap.

So they really are a must-avoid ?

Yes. IceModz make the best lights.

Phobya LED strips are gud. I have 2 x 120 mm in my system. One of them has 2 flickering LEDs but it doesn't really matter. They have sleeved cables and cost around 30 bucks for 120 cm. Don't use their adhesive strips though, they stick to anything but the LED strip.

who cares...

Where is it possible to buy Icemodz ? I've seen a thread about them here, but that was only the lighting. Can someone provide a link, preferrably (spelled that wrong I think) International/European shipping (Denmark if possible ?)
