I'm toying with the idea of having some lighting inside my 650D, ive done a bit of reading on google and most suggestions seem to be either LED strips or cathodes, then you it seems you have to choose between normal light and UV lighting. What would you suggest, would you go for blue or white lighting ?

The theme inside my case is blue and white, you can get a rough idea with the pic, just something to light it up really.

White LED strips would look nice. I like to keep the LEDs out of sight though. Premade or diy, they're much of a muchness

Any particular strips you would recommend and what colour lighting would you suggest with the colour sheme i have above ?

Do the kits come with everything you need, i was looking at some google images and some seem to have a box that converts the current.
 
Go with white (or a variable hue one like this NZXT one). White will always highlight the colours you have in your case anyway without overdoing it, and has the advantage of still being useable if you decide to get a new motherboard/cooler with a completely different colour scheme. No point buying a new LED strip with every upgrade when white works beautifully.
 
They're very bright. I've got a hue setup. 2m of led strip included too. It'll go all the way around your case in a complete loop near enough. Lots of light.

I thought the NZXT hue came with 1m of the LED strip, is it one you made up yourself ?

Overclockers seem to be out of stock on the NZXT Hue controller.
