Help for a Sith Theme

[Shpitzi]

Gents,

i need a bit of inspiration if possible.

My new (upgrade) build wher i moved my pc into a Corsair Air 240, black.

Now the colour theme inside the case is black for the most part and red (including vcard pcb and getting red sleeved extensions and noctua vibration corners coloured red)

 

I want to add a figurine with a red LED sabre in the case. Now im not against modding a light inside a figurine, but cant seem to find small LED bars that i can connect to the the PC psu in some way (fan header would be awsome)

 

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated .

LED bars aren't very common as far as I know, but all you need to do to make one is to stick a small transparent tube on top of a single red LED.

Here is an example of how I configured my Empire Build

 

White, black and red a the colors you're looking for. I recommend using the carbon/red cablemod cables, white fans and all the other components should be red.

As for a red bar, I can only recommend the SATA-powered Coolermaster red LED strip:

You could also buy Star wars stickers on amazon and use the appropriate Sith themed ones.
 

 

For more modularity, I recommend you check out my RGB lighting control tutorial here
 

 

good luck!

Thank you for the input, and awesome build you have .... Everytime i go on a forum and see other peoples work im ashamed with mine

 

my main theme is indeed red, black and slight white (fan blades, should look allright with the  slight red light inside)  and a slight orange on the PCIE and audio channels due to MB natively having them, but they are discrete (emulates ships circuits somewhat).

 

I am going with full red cables, im changing the Noctua fans vibration pads to red ( will change to full black fans at some point)

 

I am not planning on going full LED inside...as i technically SIths were covert for the most part of history, all the lighting would come off a few small lightsabers (found some on aliexpress, trouble getting LEGO minifigurines to match what i want now)

That's a good point, a dark inside with the slight red accents you described should fit perfectly.

I'm an avid fan of Star Wars and possess many lego figurines (& sets obviously). But I found my build lost in credibility with such figurines, plus I don't know how to make them not tip over...

Anyway, I think the Coolermaster Red LED strip would be a perfect fit!

Just to give a bit of an update...and a few photos during the build

Initial assembly:

Time to swap the darn cables for some nice ones

and fully closed

[Shpitzi]

Sadly the red corners i had for the noctua fan didnt match the 95mm ones...so next step is to replace them in red not the brown...and change the 2 fans to black ones in the near future.

 

Also trying to get my hands on 2-4 sith Lego figurines and will get some LED light sabers
