Hey can I please have some help. I have fancied the CoolerMaster H500P for a long time... 4 months to be exact. It is coming out soon and I would like to upgrade to it however I am in a pickle. My pc isn't great and  know I shouldnt be upgrading the case right now but I want to... I hate my case and really wanna trick my system out with RGB; however annoying that sounds. But the H500P is a new case and requires an RGB header to run the 200mm RGB fans... which I do not have on my motherboard. Here is a link to my system (Im Australian BTW):

How can I get around this??? Can I buy a RGB fan controller? Any recommendations? If there are ones that include fans that would be great thank you! I will also liek to get a lighting strip, can this be added to the fan hub or whatever? And can I still control the lights if I go this route?

 

Thank you so much for attending to my spoiled temptations

CORSAIR Lighting Node PRO. It has 2 rgb headers and plugs into usb 2.0 internal header. you can get an rgb header splitter 1 to 3 for more rgb madness. I am sorry for the late reply

Hey thanks man. You are right though. I think the RGB stuff is too much and too expensive. I can't excuse the cost of the H500P with how poor it is... I am most likely purchasingPhanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX Mid-tower Case - Satin Black . then that RGG kit to add lighting. That's the extent I will go to now. The H500P is just such a disappointment 

:(
