Where's the "none" option? Sorry, but I find case lighting to be distracting, annoying, and useless.

The only lighting in my case is from different message conveying LEDs on the motherboard.

My case even came with some blue illuminated 120mm fans, which I fortunately was able to switch out when I upgraded to 4-pin PWM fans.

I installed the stock 140mm case fan outside of case then installed the H70+ 1 of its 120mm fans inside case. Used the 2nd 120mm from the H70 to go in the Gpu tunnel.
230mm Front,200mm side,200mm top,120mm Gpu tunnel,120mm&140mm on H70.

The good news is most all led lighting comes with a switch and can be turned off.

Well then you just wouldn`t vote, or just ignore the thread all together, it`s meant for people who like to have their case lit up, like me :D

Nice keyboard by the way Dave ;)

Yeah, to each their own and all that. Just not my cup of tea. No worries. :)

I have a bit of an older gaming style case (with newer components in it, about a year old now), because it works fairly well with them. (My MB is even backwards compatible with the older AC'97 audio standard, which the case uses.) But it's really not setup to be a show piece at all, just a data cruncher.

Nothing against "show rigs" though. Just not really my thing.
