Thermaltake is adding to the RGB craze with its own multicolor case LED lighting kit the Lumi Color 256C. Though we?re seen RGB lighting being increasingly used within the past year and a half ? now even motherboards and video cards have them, amusingly RGB LED strips for computer cases have been around for much longer. The first NZXT HUE launched nearly four years ago well ahead of the trend, but today we?re looking at Thermaltake's new head-on challenger.

Besides the colors of the lights, what also makes the Thermaltake Lumi Color 256C is the magnetic mounting which makes it convenient to mount and reposition the LED strips inside a steel desktop computer case. Experimentation is valuable for entry-level case modding and the magnets embedded into the strips are a big quality of life improvement over the 3M tape which by the way is included with the Lumi Color 256C. We?re about to see if all this is worth $44.99 (Amazon.)
