I personally do not like LEDs in a PC case. They are about as cheesy as LED strips under a car. I have two fans with blue LEDs in them (came with my Zalman Z9 Plus case) and I can barely see them even though they are on the top panel of my case. If I could, I would disable the lights in them. I even disabled the power button LED. If you want something on your PC to light up, get a back lit keyboard.
I don't want something to light up on my PC... I can't stand cases that glow neon blue. I bought the windowed Fractal case because I knew the inside was going to look nice but unless I use a spot light, it's too dark to see anything in there. I'm just looking for a subtle way to get a little light in the case so that the components are visible, but not glowing bright blue like a bug zapper. The LED strips from the pictures I saw look to be very dim so I though it may work well without being overpowering. Plus there are 3 brightness levels so I thought low would be perfect to just barely shine some light in there.
I really wouldn't suggest white because even at a low setting it will probably glow too bright. Have you considered using a UV strip? UV (blacklight) gives a little bit of light in there without being overpowering.
That sounds like it would be perfect. I checked Newegg but couldn't find any... Any idea who sells them?
The one I have in my case is this one: http://www.xoxide.com/logisys-15in-ccfl-uv.html
Thank you! And thank you to MrTomnus also!
No worries, enjoy your newly lit case! And that's a really nice looking build you have too, definitely worthy of being bathed in light! Would you mind sharing specs?
Thank you! Sure, the specs are as follows:
i5-4670K @ 4.6Ghz
MSI z87-G45 Motherboard
16GB of 1866Mhz Corsair Vengeance Memory
Asus DirectCU II 7970 @ 1200/1600Mhz
CoolerMaster v850 PSU (I went with that one because it's made by Seasonic and it's fully modular.)
256GB Samsung 840 Pro SSD
2TB Seagate HDD
6 Corsair Fans (3 SP120's, 2 SP140's and 1 AF140)
Fractal Design R4 Windowed Case
Corsair H100i Cooler
And some White Sleeved Cable Extensions
My favorite part about the whole system is by far the Fractal R4... Best case I've ever owned haha!
