Not sure about op, but this is what I ordered. If your tv has usb ports, plug it in there. If not, you can use a cheap phone power brick charger.

These from amazon! I put them behind each one of them and just hit the strobe setting and it looks awesome. Added more flare

Super cheap Amazon lights:

The adhesive is really crappy though so I cut down some double sided tape to keep the strip in place.

Is something like this too long? It’s rgb but you can control the color temp of white. I have one on my tv.

Yes! got them from amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00V27VX7E/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I picked these up on Amazon because I have sensitive eyes and having my TV as the one point of light in my bedroom at night could get painful. They reduce eye strain and make the blacks on your TV look black in the dark (they're more dark grey otherwise). They also look pretty cool and you get a full color gamut, the ability to dim, and cycle through all the colors.

Led Strip Lights 6.56ft for... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072QWJRBS?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Here is my completed battlestation. I've been wanting to build a desk like this for a few years and I finally did it!

​

I plan to revisit cable management at some point, but for now I think it's fine.

Thanks! I’m an old gamer, my first FPS was Wolfenstein followed my all time old school favorite Doom! They are just LED lightstrips.

The ones that go around my big painting is this:

The ones that go around my desk, my shelves, my Destiny Titan Shield, and my Warglaives are these:

If you got a detolf, you can buy these lights and stick them one per shelf.

I'm using mine like this.

Also now you don't need to solder.
These lights come with a little strip to connect more lights together.

They plug in

There are lots of options online. Just find the ones you like

Oh crap didn't realize it went all the way back. Ignore my suggestion about the monitor stand (unless you want to drill a hole in your desk..)

Actuallyyy that would be one way to get the cables out of site. drill a hole behind your monitor.. But if you didn't want to do that you could try a cable sleeve like this maybe? Just run it along the bottom edge? https://www.amazon.com/Alex-Tech-10ft-Protector-Sleeving/dp/B07FW3GTXB/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=cable+sleeve&qid=1550156179&s=gateway&sr=8-6

Also the fact of the desk means my RGB idea wouldn't work either. But you could put them on the back of your monitor and that could be cool. I literally just bought these and am very happy with the qualilty. They worked better than the first ones I got from Wall mart...https://www.amazon.com/PANGTON-VILLA-Led-Strip-Lights/dp/B072QWJRBS/ref=lp_18423905011_1_1?srs=18423905011&ie=UTF8&qid=1550156289&sr=8-1

That's awesome. I'd like to see a picture of one. They sell ones that you wouldn't need any tech knowledge for. They just plug in and you use a remote to control them

Here's an example https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072QWJRBS/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_tsAFDb0W5567E

That part has USB in the name, you can 'assume' that it's USB compliant, and runs off the same power USB provides.. However, there's no reviews, so quality control would be your biggest concern imo.

That has many more reviews, and is also USB.

Here it is:

It's really neat! Highly recommend

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072QWJRBS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

There you are. They're pretty nice for $14. And if you buy more than one, they can all be controlled with the same remote. It's limited in it's colors but it does the basics pretty well. There's also a newer version that I have not tried.

These!

Thank you!

I was very inspired by friends and people here and over at r/battlestations.

I didn't want to spend a ton on a philips hue lightstrip ($80), so I found this alternative on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072QWJRBS/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It's worked great for me so far! Have to use a remote instead of being able to use my google home to control it but for $65 cheaper that's a no-brainer for me.

Behind my laptop I have one of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01E7684I2/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

That's how I got the two-tone look. I like it a lot.

And it can be yours for $13!

LED strip lights.

They do change color! It comes with a remote where you can choose what color and brightness. They just stick on the back of the tv and are powered via USB.

Now if you wanna get real fancy with it, Philips makes a light kit as well. Stronger light and you can control it with your phone and there’s a TON of customization options too.

Yeah wow. There's too many things that might be dead about that sign.

Here's my suggestion: Buy something like this or this and call it done.

I actually bought the LED strips off of the same website that I got the PC from and they installed the lights for me. But I do know, my father bought just a normal LED strip of lights from Amazon, and put them around his monitor and then on the inside wall of the case. (He has a glass panel around his too). He just used a adhesive puddy to attach it to the case, that can be removed very easily with no stains.

I tried to add a link below, I hope it works!
