Bought some LED strips

@ azibux1 Nice work there

Thanks (Y) I was quite impressed with myself, lol

Putting them on the underside of your motherboard would be a bad idea Unless you are 100% sure of insulation, the risks is a bit much for the reward. Don't know what ones OCUK sell but if you do a search for SMD LED tape you should you'll find this type. They can be daisy chained very easily and you can run loads off of one molex

Thanks for the heads up, I'm not even 100% sure I can fit them in a 500R anyhow, as its just dawned on me the bottom edge and half of the right side don't use stand-offs so there would be no room, would look a bit naff having only the top edge lit up - dream over

Don't put them under the motherboard, but I'd still get them and put them elsewhere in the case. Makes it look a lot better (Y)

They're really bright, you can mount them on the roof/floor of the case and it's light the whole lot up

I may do, but it depends what fans I end up putting in, it was just to provide a kind of under-glow, thought it would look pretty sweet

May put some in the hidden edges of the case, need to get a window sorted first though!

Yeah I see what you mean, I just googled the 500R and found out that it doesn't have much of a 'window' as such

Nope, there are window kits, but only in the states, fortunately they do list the measurements of everything so it should just be a case of buying a made to measure window and putting it in.

Sounds like a plan that will work (Y)
