Hi all looking to get a white led strip for my case, what brand would you recommend? price isnt an issue just want a nice spread of light not a really spacey led type strip.
Any advise would be greatly received.

thankyou, have you wired yours to a switch or fan controller?

You could go for a RGB strip and controller from the auction site. That way you can make any colour you like

White brings the colour out of your components, colours wash everything out on the inside I find!

I'm using a white Akasa Vegas strip and it does a great job of lighting up my case. They seem to use a decent 3M sticky tape on there too (unlike my last one from Bitfenix that wasn't even sticky).

The good thing with the RGB strips, you can make different whites, warm, cool, and anything in between. Even adding a hint of colour to the white can change the affect a lot. I use RGB lighting in my fish tank

The adhesive for the Akasa vegas LED strips are crap. Couldn't hold on the top of my case for more than about a day.
