So spec me some LED's got to be red. Cost doesn't bother me too much (but don't go overly stupid!) Would like to get them this week if possible so I can sort them out before I start properly finishing off my loop + build ^.^
 
Ahh the specifics LED strips! :p I already have 2x 120mm LED fans (not sure what I'm yet to do with them) but I want to add some light to my case and red LEDs would do nicely. (I think)
 
Ah in that case. If you've deep pockets something from this list.

Then there's this but the LED pitch is quite large.

or DIY it with them from somewhere else that might need a touch of soldering.

The first and third options have a more subtle red glow because they are based on SMD LED while the 2nd one is discrete LED that have a smaller viewing angle.

All look great in a case. Search for some pics of each and choose your look.
 
Ok cool cheers. Will have to mull it over and figure which would be the best bang for buck so to speak. I would solder if I had a soldering iron... and the skills to do so :p
