Lighting for my build

[spL4cKd-gekZ]

So I finally finished my build 2 weeks ago, but then had to RMA my motherboard because the pcie slot just went dead. But anyways, below are some images of my build. I was wondering whether one 30cm bitfenix alchemy connect LED-strip or two 12cm (Top and bottom alongside where the case cover goes) bitfenix alchemy connect LED-strip will be enough to light up the inside of my PC build? There is a front 200mm fan with a red LED, which I'm thinking of removing the red LED and soldering a white or blue LED to match the LED strips which I'm leaning more towards to white for all the lighting. Not really going for a theme here, just want to clearly see the components inside of my build.

PC specs:

Cpu = i5-3570K

Mobo = AsRock z77 Extreme4 (Being RMAed)

Heatsink = CM Hyper 212 EVO

Ram = G.Skill Sniper (2x4gb) 1600Mhz

Gpu = Gigabyte Radeon HD 7970 Ghz Edition

Psu = XFX 750W XXX Edition

Case = CM HAF922

Images (Taken before the mobo was RMAed):

Thanks Guys!

Sweet! however just an idea, remove the hdd try thing if its possible and screw the hdd on the bottom of the case if you can, if its possible you'd have more airflow going towards the gpu and all instead of being blocked by the tray!

And i'd also go with either blue or white ( hoping that white wouldnt be too bright )

i would get 2 12cm strips for the top and buttom

Thanks! Not sure if I can screw it below from its current position, but I can always use mounting tape and hope that it's strong enough to withstand the vibrations of the hdd when accessed.

Thanks Lime! I was thinking that configuration would give a lot more light than just one 30 cm strip.

I don't know if it's compatible with any brand of LED strips, and if they weren't, the strips by NZXT aren't too close to each to other as suppose to bitfenix's strips. But definitely an awesome device though, it would be nice if one were compatible/made for bitfenix's strips.

I bought a 5M strip from Amazon and just wired my own. Cheaper than buying two pre-done strips for the top and bottom.

it's not about how close they're are to each other, it's about the light they throw. you obviously don't want to be seeing the raw led.

if you hide the lights around the rim of the side panel mount you'll get good coverage and it'll make it all the way around the case and light will get thrown into everything instead of just 1 or 2 angles :P

I'd work on the cable management a bit first. It looks kinda messy in the bottom of that build. Otherwise, two led strips, one for the bottom and one for the top should be enough to add some nice lighting to your system.

Yeah, I need to tie those up together. But can't do that until I get the motherboard which is still being RMAed at the moment :(.
