Best LEDs to use with thermaltake view 31

[LTFoReal]

So I've been looking at adding maybe 3 LED strips to the inside of the case and changing out my 3 120mm fans that I have on my top radiator and 2 120mm fans on the front. Looking for a good suggestions, preferably strips that don't have what looks like individual lights and nothing with Molex as those are bulky and look gross in the back. I'd also like something I could maybe daisy chain together for easy installation, any ideas guys?

i really like cablemod led strips they come in either magnetic or adhesive and can be daisychained together to make it longer

Ok cool I'll look into them, that's pretty much what I'm looking for. I'm not a fan of the type that only have adhesion since the adhesive is usually just messy trash that struggles to stick.

I used two 60cm strips in this build (see blue build in signature for more pics) since theyre daisy chain-able and magnetic, though they do have an adhesive backing if you need it. 10/10 highly recommended, super bright

Hmm I think I would have liked to see how these lights would look with one on each side as the shroud seems to be absorbing a lot of the bottom lights. Tho they do seem super bright, do they come with a software or remote to control that?

@LTFoReal check out our LED solutions which use WideBeam technology to provide a more even balance of brighter lighting

The RGB ones do come with a controller that uses radio waves to control the lighting (better than infra red since it's usable without line of sight) but that doesnt mean you cant control the single color LED strips either. I managed to find a solution for <$16 shipped (though you could probably find cheaper wires than the links provided from amazon, thats just what I personally bought) Lights were able to be dimmed to about 30% before they didnt have enough power to be lit, but that was more than dim enough for what I was looking for.

The ones pictured are actually the blue wide beam variants!

Ok thanks a lot man. Their are a lot of options out there but hard to find what would fit perfectly with my setup. I'm wondering if there any that link up well with rgb fans. That would simplify my entire life, specially if they used the same software.

NZXT has their hue+ software that can hook up RGB fans with their cable strips, but it's proprietary, and the unit itself costs $60

I was looking at theirs too but they use Molex connectors which I really don't like. I was also looking at the corsair rgb with the commander pro. Stupid pricy but id be able to hook everything up together without having to solder things permanently as I frequently like switching things up in there.
