LED lightning

What would be the best LED strip to get to light-up in the inside of my case.
I have a fractal arc midi and I'm assuming I would need to put one of the many strips you can get on the bottom or the top to light up the case.

Could anyone recommend which strips to use there are far too many....

I'd go with the BitFenix ones, I used 2x30CM (white) ones in a CM Storm case and it lights up fantastic! You can daisy chain and also have them hooked up to an on/off switch (if your case has an LED switch).

Here they are: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/produ...=1428&sortby=manual_sort&subid=1430&mfrid=556

Or these: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CM-032-AK&groupid=701&catid=1428&subcat=1430

They're cheaper and you can string more together. They're damn bright and the stick seems to hold.

I'll go for the Alaska ones, I need to buy the side panel as-well so need to keep cost down. They seem to do the job!
Is that only one in your case at the top? lights up the entire thing!

If you really want to keep the cost down go to the well known auction site,and you will find them for about £2 per foot.I use them for reptile and they are basically the same as the Akasa ones,all you need to do is solder a connection onto the bare wires to connect to your psu,or use an old 12v adapter,I use old phone charger for the reps.There a plenty of tutorials about on how to do it.
