Reddit reviews ESUMIC LED Cable Connector Extension Cable Wire 4 Pin Female to Female for SMD 5050 3528 RGB LED Strip Light 30cm Black 10 Pack (Black)

The actual extension cables between the led strips are pretty standard https://www.amazon.com/ESUMIC-Cable-Connector-Extension-Female/dp/B00XX41VD0/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1502315577&sr=1-3&keywords=led+extension+cable
Just an example but make sure they the arrow telling you where the 5v is for whatever size you buy.

> I agree eating alone is probably the worst part of solo travel but from my experience, local people are quite friendly. There has been many occasions where they invited me to eat with them even with the language barrier. It was quite enjoyable. Maybe I just got lucky with people.

Ow yes absolutely, I've had a couple occasions where I was invited or simply joined a table and had a great chat. I even made some friendships this way, saw one of them back last year too.

> LOL. My GF will be very happy to see that you've been working hard on her section of the room. Those options do create more space, she'll probably like it. Many thanks.

Hah, no problem! I like to help out as best as I can. I really get joy out of 'designing' as well, so this was fun. Let me know what she thinks as well.

> I'm definitely going to add RGB and Kraken x62 and NZXT Vue+ lol. Going to go all out~

Will do this for you! I don't recommend the NZXT Hue+, instead I highly recommend to just use on-board RGB headers!
^(hilarious video, but it shows you how to set it up)
This allows you to sync other RGB parts together if the products allow for it, but the main reason is that you don't need a box inside the case and a controller. You simply use software to control the RGBs.

> Yeah I'm going to wait out on the monitor. i'm thinking either the ROG or ASUS or ACER 34+"

I think it's too much money personally. I mean.. my lasts years holiday was about equal the price of those two monitors. And I had to save a good bit to get this together. If you can justify it, I won't stop you. But I don't recommend it highly.

> The curved monitor I'm still debating. I heard photo editing is hard as well but I love the gimmick. I would never buy a curved TV so why not a curved monitor. Haha! + I heard it is decent for gaming?

I've got experience with a small sample of curved monitors, both TVs and gaming monitors I had a bit of time with. The curved TV was just.. weird and didn't work at all for me. I adjusted my distance from the TV many times to find a 'comfortable' viewing spot. The main problem I had was when I was not right in the centre, it just really makes it a bit weird. I mean, you probably get used to it, but I would not cash out on this at all personally.

Do what you want, there are a lot of curved 3440x1440 displays. I will not stop you.
I personally love Dell and would really like that monitor.. If it wasn't curved. xD

It's something I just don't find useful. It does probably helps a little bit depending on your eyes field of view. But I currently use a 16:9 2560x1440p monitor and when I look at the left now (I am typing here), I can still see the right side just fine where the extra couple inches would be when I upgrade to a 3440x1440p display.

It is indeed not great for photo editing especially. I have no personal experience with this, but I can really imagine that it's not going to be helpful in the slightest. Depending on how serious you're into editing I suppose..

For games, it depends again on what games I think. The demo that I saw had Rise of the Tomb raider running which absolutely looked fenominal. But the curves didn't really add much for me personally.

I am not kidding, you can ask anything! Aside from my pin code..

You should be able to use LED extension cables, but I don't know how finicky the HUE system is with them.
