No qualifiers you're either with LEDs or against them!

 

Personally I am with team LED.

Yeah LEDs are great if they are not on fans as they are really good at lighting up the case.

I personally have a some dimish white LEDs going round the sides of my case, so you can't see them directly, but I really dislike LED fans and crazy, mulitcoloured LEDs everywhere. I just use mine to accent the black and white theme and so that you can see the hardware on the inside.

Yes, but ultimately depends on thee colour scheme of the rig. White for the majority of rigs, but over-doing colour accenting is a no-no. Below is a WIP shot of my rig (the custom sidepanel covers where the excess lighting from the strips so you can see the interior of the case clearly but not the source; it's off for cleaning).

LED strips are the best form of lighting in a build, so in that respect I am 100% for them. Whether or not you want lighting is a completely different matter though.

most of the time yes, but in some instances they look tacky
