New PC Case Light Question
Looking for a new case. How will I know if the case has lights in it? Not just fan lights but case lights? I'm looking for a case with red or blue lights.

They generally never come with lights; aside from LED Fans that will then somewhat light-up the insides. LED Strips and things of that sort are an after-market part.

When viewing a specific case, it should say what all it comes with and/or have a model# / name that differs based on Case Color and perhaps overall LED colors as well.

Are LED strips hard to install?

They generally just plug in with a 4-pin Molex to the PowerSupply; then u situate them how u want. I don't really see the point, unless u doing some mods but at the same time don't want to use LED fans. Or maybe want a combination of the two to offset certain areas of the case and such.

I have one more question. How do I know if my board with fit into a new case? I have a case I like that said it can fit ATX mbs and two others. Does that mean all ATX boards will fit? Are all ATX boards the same size?

Sharing the model of Case and Motherboard would be best bet if u are un-sure.

If it is a 7-slot board; generally those are just "ATX" which are approx 12-inch x 9.5-inch

A case that can fit those can of course fit smaller boards; such as Micro-ATX (mATX) or ITX

Yes; both that Case and Motherboard would be fine together.
And the case supports higher-end GPUs that tend to be quite long.
