I’ve been experimenting with addressable RGB strips inside my NZXT H710. The key is to use a slim 5‑mm profile and route the cable behind the PSU shroud. Here’s a quick rundown: - Strip length: 1.5 m (10 W per meter) - Controller: Magic Home Wi‑Fi (integrated with Home Assistant) - Power: Split off the 12 V rail from the PSU using a Molex‑to‑SATA adapter The result is a subtle glow that highlights the interior without being overkill. Anyone tried a similar setup?

Nice! I went a step further and added a programmable diffuser panel on the side panel. Using a 3‑D printed acrylic sheet with a frosted finish, the LEDs bounce off it for an even spread. I mounted the diffuser with magnetic strips so it can be removed for cleaning. Also, remember to secure the strip with zip‑ties to avoid sagging.

If you want synchronization with your GPU’s frame rate, check out “SignalRGB”. It can sync the strip to game events, giving you an immersive experience. Works great with MSI Afterburner as well.
