I have something similar, although I picked them up in IKEA. Like €25 a pack and they come with 4 LED bars and a controller switch. You can have a range of colours solid, or set it to gently cycle through colour changing.

Apologies for the horrendous picture quality, but you get the idea. I've been running a purple them for a while and like it. Also have a set to the left of the picture that lights up some storage units where my consoles and comics are.

Seeing all the pics here makes me want to give a **** about cable management. But really can't bring myself to be arsed doing anything about it

Really nice setup you've got there.

Set up is grand doc, not everyone has an immaculately set up system, myself I've my tower on the dining room table behind my screen with a hdmi cable trailing off to another table into a big tv/screen

A ridiculous amount of tidying was needed before I took any of my pics :-D

This is what I always wondered. They always look to perfect!

Don't feel so bad now

Although I do need a clean up of my desk this weekend, all the **** in that photo is still there, along with whatever else has gathered over the last few months.

Haha, yeah, I remember I posted a picture of my setup before, and the first comment was someone just saying 'That's awful messy. You should tidy it".

Here's my current:

Normally my computer room / home office looks like a scene from 'Rick and Morty' :-D

Very nice build, love the colour scheme - white and red always very nice.

Ever thought about getting into water-cooling?

Plain ol' DDR3, just a Gskill cooler though!

Funny enough, not really, never something that interested me! I change parts so frequently as well it would be a nightmare, I never have the same CPU or card more than a few months at most!

You should consider it, water-cooling is superb and once you get into it you wont go back. The performance, the reduction in noise, lower temps etc..

For people who update parts regularly there are QDCs (Quick Disconnects) so you don't have to completely disassemble and drain your loop every time you update a part.

Starter kits are the way to get started as opposed to a custom loop on your first go.

Check out the new Predator kit from EK - comes in 240 and 360 sizes

I used something similar from Swiftech a few years ago but it wasn't quite as good as the Predator from EK.

Just put one of them as an attachment there. Again looked at my desk over long weekend and thought of doing a cleanup up and maybe doing some cable management and stuff, then didn't bother my arse and just played games.

Only have a picture of my actual setup at the moment, not the actual PC so hope its still alright.
Will get pictures of my build up soon too, nothing amazing whatsoever but its better then nothing! Feel ashamed putting it up when I see all your builds

The first picture was when I moved into the box room, had to stay like that for a couple months

A bit of stuff has changed, this is a few months ago when I finished my room. New keyboard, headset and few more bits.
Before:

Updated my case to a S340 Razer Edition, switched out the 212 Evo for a NH-U12S to fit in the case, and got a new motherboard to match the colour scheme sort of better with an ASRock z97 Extreme 6.

Happy enough, although I am now looking at getting :

- Green LED Lights for inside the case as the window is tinted to the point where I can't actually see anything inside the case
- Plastidip Blaze Green to paint my Sapphire R9 290 trim from yellow to green
