I am considering this backlit mobo fiasco
I currently have a red led and black case theme going on, so would you guys suggest a red led strip behind it or white one?

Also, will I have to remove the mobo to install it?

If you want to stick it down to the motherboard tray properly, yes. My LED strips had adhesive on the back, I could have threaded them under and rested the strips on the motherboard stand offs but I wasn't happy with that so I pulled the motherboard off and stuck them down.

I wouldn't really know about the colour but I really do like white, it just looks much cleaner and minimalistic to me.

I guess I will just remove the motherboard and do it all properly. I could do with re-managing my cables anyway, guess it'll be a good reason to bother with it.

My Lian-Li PC-60 (or II Plus), I somewhat regret getting a silver one since I want to spray the interior black, but its about 4 years old

The cabling is a little bad but there really is no place to hide em in this case>

Little bit dusty, need to give it an air blast. Also ignore the ghetto GPU cooler I made, that was for when my GPU used to crazily overheat (thanks to old thermal paste.)

Quick pic of my HAF922, nice case with lots of space.

Not the best cable management or the best pic, but I don't want to be too OCD about it.

All working nicely.

Some good looking builds going on here. Just finished final tweaks to my 800D today. Replaced all of the stock Corsair fans with Noctua, and have adapted a 12 cm fan to the main 14 cm intake on the bottom. Seems to have tamed the Fermi nicely. Shown the mess of cables behind the mobo too. Well, I like to call it organsied chaos : ) Idea was to keep the cables away from the side panel but allow access to the CPU backplate if needed.

Molex everywhere! Very nice case though.

Ziggy4 · 14 Aug 2010 at 13:57

Molex everywhere!

No kidding! Was a bloody nightmare to stick them all down

The molex only power the fans which keeps them off the motherboard headers.

I would say white as well, my LEDs do seem more purple than they actually are in photographs, to me its a much cleaner white light looking at it now.

I do quite like the purple effect mind.

I think yellow would make it look quite dirty, yellow on black ends up looking almost a dirty green. White in my opinion, would like to see purple though .

Hey Parsley yeah I agree on the white probs going to go for them, did you get just one strip or more? I can only find one strip from OcUK which is luckily white

. I was thinking of yellow because there are a few yellow leds spotted around the rampage2 extreme and dotted on the top of my 4870s which I think look cool when the cathodes are off and thought it might look good behind the mobo too.

AC Ryan Blackfire4 120mm in UVblue-orange @77.70cfm and 28.95dB
I've got four Blackfire 4's in here. Love em. Great cooling, not noisy, and look sweet. My fan arrangement should have really been one brand/one colour, but I like them all

wilko49 · 15 Aug 2010 at 16:34

thanks.... they look pretty sick. Might be a new purchase in the works.... IRL, does it look as purple as in the pic?

gingergamer · 15 Aug 2010 at 20:26

I must say, those fans are very nice indeed.

Did you purchase them from the Bay? As I cant seem to find any e-tailers I have heard of that stock them.

Jesus, what case is that?

Looks huge from the pictures.
Nice build though, real clean looking.

gatecrasherlok · 15 Aug 2010 at 23:16

That is one very sublime and absolutely clinical finish w3bbo.

Anyays heres my humble offering

gingergamer · 15 Aug 2010 at 23:24

gatecrasherlok, I love the red and black.
CPU cooler is sweet.

Funny though, because I just decided on changing my current red and black theme to green leds in all my fans.

Sonea Fifer · 15 Aug 2010 at 23:46

Some lovely cases here - here's my humble offering to this thread:

gatecrasherlok · 16 Aug 2010 at 02:25

Thanks gingergamer, yeah i really liked the red and black theme a lot although the wires have been semi sleeved now (thanks to nzxt pre braided cables) it looks a lot neater now. Unfortunately my camera broke while on holiday so cant take any pics atm. Could use the phoen camera but the quality would be aweful.
