Default LED Lighting
Ok, so starting to get final things together with my PC desk, and a key feature in this desk will be LED lights.


So, i've taken a look at PCCG and i've come across 2 different types i can use,

NZXT Sleeved LED Cable 2m Blue

Quote:
The NZXT Sleeved LED Kit re-images the way enthusiasts sets up lighting inside the computer case. Traditionally, cold cathodes and even solid LED boards take up large amounts of space inside the case. Using sleeved wires paired with high density amount of LEDs, the NZXT LED kit allows users to hide lights between side panels and under components, creating an amazing glow effect. Lastly, the NZXT Sleeved LED Kit is paired with a three step light sensitivity and on/off light function via PCI keeping the LED kit stealthily hidden away while unused

That is for $25 pp



Or Bitspower Dual 30cm Cold Cathode Kit Blue

Quote:
Twin 30cm cold cathode lights with dual output inverter and switch. In addition to the acrylic enclosure, mounting cubes and boxed inverter, the lights come pre-wired with molex connector for simple plug and play operation.
For $19 pp


I dont really know much about LEDs To me, it would make more sense to get the LED Cable in a 2metre length, Since i'll need about that, but it also looks as if the Dual 30CM Kit will give a brighter appearance.

Anybody got any suggestions?

Whats the difference apart from the cost?

The 2m Strip is more bang for buck then the one you suggest.

Also keeping in mind i need 4.8 Metres of LEDs

Possibly more, as that'll only be the floor of the case in the desk.

Dont want cheap crap. I wanna get something Half Decent, that wont die and have to be replaced. I've put aside $200 for fans and the Lighting for this particular stage of the case. Still have to get 6 120mm Fans.


Hoping to also use these fans.

CoolerMaster 120mm SickleFlow Fan 2000rpm Blue LED
