RE my earlier post - it would be great if these worked like an ambilight/tv backlight system...

It would be even better if there was API for the LEDs - I would buy them in an instant if I could program them myself. Any chance of this?

That's a thought. If there isn't then you could always throw an Arduino into the mix, or an RPi and do it yourself. Complicated though I suppose, easier to buy an off the shelf already done kit.

Sounds interesting, I'll have to look into this I think!

Where's the recommended place to put the LED strips in the s340?

To be honest its your pick, they are magnetic so you can move them around to get the best effect. They also come with extensions so you can place them any which way. Generally speaking you want them out of direct site, so along the PSU shroud, behind the cable management bar and or on the top mount. They call also be placed behind the motherboard tray for a 'glow effect'.

Not sure what you mean by this do you have an example?

I will look into this, but currently working on a way to be able to share lighting profiles, which if done would create a back end way to config lighting

Not forgotten will update shortly

Correct me if I am wrong but it looks like 'zeegy' wins based on current entries... God I wish I could have a Poll insert

bioshockeruk · 13 Nov 2015 at 10:22

I believe it's a three way tie lol. So that means you have the tough decision to make now lol

If not I want it to go into Emily's pc

Could see a 3 way review giving some proper in depth insight as to how this little beaut holds up. Always good to see from different points of view!

They did say they have more than one unit to give away... OcUK community review, like the sound of that

bioshockeruk · 18 Nov 2015 at 11:04

Indeed, it would give a broader view of the product from different perspectives. Either way, I eagerly look forward to the response from NZXT...

NZXT · 18 Nov 2015 at 21:40

Sorry for the delay on this I have not forgotten. First unit goes to zeegy as I do count more votes for him, although one is from bioshockeruk but am trying to get at least one more so will hope to update soon! Zeegy a trust is going out to you now

bioshockeruk · 18 Nov 2015 at 23:39

congratulations zeegy! make sure you keep us posted. Would love to see what you end up doing with this...

Aikon359 · 19 Nov 2015 at 09:09

Ditto,

Congrats pal. Will be looking forward to seeing the results!

Have responded to your trust, many thanks for that.

I don't think the votes were higher for me, it seems there were two posts that mentioned me, but they were for the same member - it is essentially a 3 way tie.

Will keep you all updated with a review soon

Thanks Boss.

Would my 2 x 30cm white cathode setup be of any benefit to you?
I would rather donate my existing gear

I got it as sastusbulbas and bioshockeruk but had to pick one anyway so congratulations

Congrats

Something else for me to stick on Emily's Christmas list now then

zeegy · 23 Nov 2015 at 09:16

Sunday morning, Sitting on the couch playing the Sega Megadrive in my undercrackers I get a knock at the door.... DPD on a Sunday!? Really!?

Review will be up soon, just waiting for my RMA'd psu from Overclockers and then I'll get to work

bioshockeruk · 23 Nov 2015 at 13:59

Will you be doing an unboxing too?
