^Anytime bros

Actually, when I was thinking about making this cabinet more classy so I thought about it and got that the Dimentions of the panels must be the same as NZXT Gamma, so I researched and got that NZXT M59 has the same side panel dimentions. So. I suggestet. .:)

Its simple, many manyfacturers like: Sunbeam, NZXT etc. Manufacture readymade LED strips which are really low on power and give really good light, you just apply them and connect the connector to your Molex connector and its done..! :)
