Hello Guys,

I have assembled some systems by myself before, but never worked on lighting. I have recently assembled a new system with Corsair Carbide SPEC - Alpha and wish to light it up to potentially use its see-through side panel.

I was looking online for some LED strips but most of them are chinease, cheap and so i am not sure if those are going to work fine. I don't mind costlier strips but it basically should be of good quality.

Have you guys tried any of these, which worked good? Please share your tips/links to the product.

Thanks.

Go with either Deepcool RGB LED strip or NZXT RGB LED strip.

Which is cheaper.

Thanks [MENTION=105611]bssunilreddy[/MENTION]. However, i am not seeing these readily available online. What are the chances to get these in local markets (like nehru place in delhi)

Deepcool is dealt by Tirupati Enterprises or sold via overclockerszone.com

Just check once.

You can setup led strips with a simple DIY process. It will cost you around 200-300 along with rgb controller

Yess, it's very challenging & adventurous to setup or do DIY LED strips but 1 small mistake costs an entirely new package.

So it's better to get it done from a professional or buy it via Retail.

I think Retail option gives some warranty.

I would also like to invest in some lightning for my cabinet (even though I don't have a see through side panel).

So thanks for your post.
[MENTION=273753]Vineet Sharma[/MENTION]: do post of you find any led strip from Nehru Place.

Are you going to run some Tesla experiments?

I dont get time for DIY projects, also i am very much sure that i will screw it up anyways.
I also didnt get time to visit nehru place, though i am sure i should be able to get something there. Will try to visit there in coming weekend.

For now, i have ordered two 120 mm fans (white LED) to put it on top of the cabinet. As its red/white with two red LED fans in front, i think it should look cool!
I should get it delivered by Thursday this week, will install those and put some pics here.
