addding lights to my pc

[samstalker]

hi guys i saw this case http://cougargaming.com/products/cases/mx310/ , and i'm thinking to get it with some lights, what colours should i get? someone suggested blue and cherry red would it look good if i get blue fans in the front red in the back and blue and red strip lights?

Not a very good case, you can do much better for your money. The build quality is not very good and it has outdated front i/o.
What is your budget including LEDs?

Samstalker,

I'd recommend getting the Rosewill Tyrfing. I have the case and it's amazing. It comes with a side panel with a sort of window. It has pretty good cable management and is a pleasure to work with especially when you have a modular power supply. You can also fit a lot of fans and even a 360mm radiator at the top. If you want something different where you could see the fan LEDs through the front, get the Corsair Spec-01

Get colors that match your setup. If you have red RAM and a red and black mobo or graphics card, get red, etc.

That is a crap case, although the Spec-01 is pretty good.
This is what I think you should go with.
The NZXT Sleeved LED strips come in your typical colors of Red, Blue, green, purple etc.
Take your pick, and you can double up on them if you feel like it.
They typically go for around $15 per 1m strip, which should be enough to cover your case, which is very high quality. The S340 comes in blue and black, white, black and red, white and the 'Razer Edition' with a green LED panel and lighting around the outside of the case, keep in mind this will cost a bit more:

It's really not that bad of a case. It's basically the Corsair 100r but the front panel is changed a bit.

 

[Gam3r01]

That case looks very cheaply made and flimsy. I would not recommend it.
The S340 however, is a very nice budget case.

If you're looking at the Rosewill Tyrfing, watch this.

All Im seeing is thin metal and plastics.
I mean the whole side panel is flexing when he peels off the plastic. Not to mention there was nothing actually happening in the video, a static assembled PC means nothing to build quality.

Yup. Cheap material and flimsy panels are the hallmark of Cougar cases as far as i'm concerned.
The description is literally: "but were the corners cut worth it?"
The case also gets outperformed by similar cases in the same price range easily in terms of quality.

What country are you in?
I suggest you use the S340 with the stock fans, as they are pretty decent, and get some NZXT LED strips due to their value for money. They come in the standard red, green, blue and purple I think.

Just go with red LEDs, seems to be the majority theme. Get the case in red black as well.

The Phantom 240 is an excessively large case, and the cooling isn't great with the stock config in my experience.
The construction is also plastic, but is much better than the cougar case you listed earlier in that it is VERY solid, and very big.

what about the thermaltake n23? as if i can get it with about 35$ less so paying these 35$ what are the better stuff i'm getting

You get better build quality, an easier building experience, more upgrade potential, and a nicer looking case.
Pretty much you get a good case by paying the extra 35, and a cheap low quality one by saving $35.
Best to just spend it.

With the S340? It would look just fine with red/black.

ok so i get the red version? my mobo is blue so i was thinking about blue, and will the nzxt 1m sleeved kit get me enough lighting?

 

[samstalker]

wow man it doesn't have a disk drive bay does it?

wow man it doesn't have a disk drive bay does it?

No it doesn't.
Get an external DVD reader, they're really cheap.
Also 1m is plenty, will do a full loop of your case.
In terms of LEDs I already told you, it will be fine if you get red with your case since most of your other components are red, but its your choice, I can't help you on personal preference.
