I used two DealExtreme's 3W Multicolored RGB LEDs, Arduino USB board, some resistors and a program coded by my friend to light up my computer case. If you are a DIY person, this is a must do thing XD

Here are links for the LEDs:

  • I used Arduino board. It's mentioned in video description.

  • cable management fail

  • @misterpc23 I'm gonna make a ver. 2 video of this with my new Lian Li case with three rgb LEDs, a whole new cooling system and a better cable management :D

  • @Akuantti what are you going to do for cooling? water or air? or oil 0.o

  • @misterpc23 Just air, but I've got Noctua NH-U12P CPU cooler, Thermalright HR-03 Plus on GPU and RAM coolers. In my case (Lian Li Armorsuit PC-P50R) there are two red LED 140mm fans on the top and one 120mm red LED in front and one in the back too. Plus I use Noctua's 120mm fans for the GPU and CPU.

  • do you need the usb board to make it just randomly change? please explain what exactly happens id like to hook this up in my computer

  • @rockafromhell You need Arduino board to control the LEDs but it can work independently after you have loaded the code on it. In my video I control the LEDs in real time through usb.
