Best LED for my case

[diegoneedhelp]

Hello people of the universe

So basically i want to light up my case because i feel sorry for it not having light lol (i have a emotional bonding with my pc, i should visit a doctor) anyways, its a NZXT s340 and i want it to have enough light to light every component of it. The LED have to be bought in Amazon, and i prefer if its redish light i guess. It has to be a prime item btw.

Thanks!

What about this http://www.amazon.com/NZXT-CB-LED10-RD-1-Metre-Sensitivity-Sleeved/dp/B0046I79DS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1458600911&sr=8-2&keywords=nzxt+red+led

It needs one empty expansion slot on your case (doesn't need a PCIe slot) and the only other thing needed is an empty Molex power connector from your PSU. I personally use the blue one of these in my system and love it. It's adjustable to three brightness levels and can be turned on/off while the system is running without having to disconnect anything or even open the case.

Wow I just realized how much of a monopoly Amazon is... I got my 2-meter blue one on Ebay for not even $10 new. And that's only the 1-meter for $14. Wow.

I suggested the smaller one because the 2-meter isn't Prime.

Hi,

Ok so first of all, i want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for this thing! You responded immediately with all the information i need! <3, and yeh amazon is a monopoly lol.

Anyways, so i connect this to a expansion slot, any free one which i have more then 2 (cuz i dont have 2 GPU lol) and then just put set it up, and connect it to molex? Does the thing come with the molex adapter? Cuz i have the thing in my psu to connect molex things, but does the thing already come with the molex thing?

Thanks so much! <3

You just stick the bracket into the empty expansion slot, connect the Molex connector from the bracket (comes pre-attached BTW) to a Molex connector on your PSU then route the light strip through your chassis.

It comes with these sticky little clips to help with mounting to your chassis. Just make sure you get any dust off of where you intend to mount the strip.

Hi,

Ok thanks! Have you had any problems with them so far?

Well after about eighteen months, one of the LEDs takes a few seconds to turn on after powering on the machine. So no major problems with it.

I like your profile pic BTW

Hi,

I just got them and installed them and i got to say they look GREAT! thanks you so much this is what i wanted. ONly thing is i wish the things that hold them would be stronger

Did you clean the dust off of where you went to apply them to your chassis? Because dust will decrease their ability to stick properly.
