So I want the top chamber of my case to be yellow. The bottom chamber is already blue from the led fans. I am not finding much for good air flow fans that have yellow led's. I'm wondering if I should pick out a few good air flow fans and find another way to light it up with yellow lights.

Thanks for any help.

The Hue looks really cool, but it looks like it takes a 5.25" bay. I am actually taking out all three of the 5.25" bays on the front of my case and replacing it with a fan at the front and the back and a cool fan grill from mnpctech. I won't have a 5.25" bay for the Hue.

I made my own using these you can buy about any color and is fairly cheap.

Used these for switches. Again you can find different color LED's

This is how I mounted them you could really put them about anywhere.

The hue+ doesn't use any drive bays as far as I know.

For my personal case I used this set.

The waterproof just means there's a smooth sleeve over the led's, makes it easier to dust/wipe them off if needed. It may be more than you need. There are some tradeoffs, it's not powered by the psu so it uses its own power brick meaning another plug to the wall. I had to make a slight mod to my case to fit the power cable into the case. The remote works pretty well. There are less expensive options without the alternating separate channel of pure white leds, that's just what I preferred.

I didn't realize the hue+ was so different. I'm pretty interested in that, especially if I can us it to put blue in the bottom chamber and yellow in the upper chamber. Plus having pc access to changing colors etc is so much nicer than the remote etc.
