I'm wanting to add some lighting to my build. My motherboard omits a red lighting and my RAM is red. However my setup is completely RGB so that is the direction I want to go in. Are there any components that can do RGB, like strips or anything? If not RGB, red would be great.

The NZXT Hue+ would be a recommendation. It comes with 3 RGB strips, each strip has 10 LEDs on it and it's all managed from the control box and the CAM software.

Also just a quick heads up, you need to have a USB 2.0 header on your motherboard to connect it to. It also uses a 4-pin molex to power it.

There are quite a lot of strips on amazon or eBay which can connect directly to your motherboard or psu

Mine came with 4 strips and you don't have to have a USB 2.0 Header. What you can do is plug a phone charging cable in the box and route it to a USB port on the back of the motherboard or the front if needed. That's what i had to do when my cable become faulty.

I figured that could be a solution looking at the ports on it, however I was assuming OP was trying to keep it as neat as possible for aesthetics. When you did this, is there like a wire showing somewhere on the side of the case or routed through the side panel and kinda bent into the USB on the motherboard?
