the nzxt strip isn't one of the brightest around. if yr window is tinted, it's quite dim. Akasa is very bright. Chamoxa at SLS level 4 sells it. Or if u don't mind diy a bit, buy from Sim lim tower level 3. Super bright, only $8 for a metre. but u need to trim the wires to fit into a molex connector.

Chamoxa no longer at SLS lvl 4. They shifted back to their woodlands warehouse store liao. Cybermind now taking over their SLS retail shop to put their barang barang items.

depends on where u cut. no rewiring needed if u don't cut the power wires.

Suggest LED strip that can connect to fan power connector...

Connect that to your mobo fan header so you can control brightness (ex. According to CPU temp)

Btw, i steer clear from all red or all blue lighting... looks boring and cheap...

Current trend is to use all white to show internals better

if i remember correctly no leh. Coz i only buy the rgb strip which by default is:

power brick-> RGB controller-> 4 pin RGB strip.

What i did is:

PSU-> DIY 2pin molex/2 pin fan-> DIY 2.1m barrel->RGB controller->4 pin RGB strip
