Corsair 750D/780T - n00bie Case Modding/Illumination

[Geeksmirage]

Hey all,

While Im deciding on my final spec, Im trying to make a few decisions:
1. Case: Corsair 750D vs 780T?
I want a full tower and looked at 100s of cases. Shortlisted to these two. Thought about the simplicity (yet plain and boring) 750D or the cool latched 780T. I will most probably get the 780T

2. LED strips: Never used em before. Acc. to maximum PC, Bitfenix is a good brand.

a) How many does one need in a full tower?
b) If I use Molex to connect these, wont I run out of Molex? My current case is a coolermaster storm scout and I have a Fatality 750W PSU. With 5 HDDs, 3 case fans afaik, im all out of molexes ?
c) What else can one put in a case? Laser light type things?

3. Anything else you guys suggest?

Also, a front LCD Display would be brilliant.
I dont care too much about fan speeds, but I wouldnt mind a cool looking one.
E.g.

Fyi, I was thinking of getting a DVD Rom Drive, the 750D has 3 front bays, whereas the 780T has only 2.

But something that shows me CPU, RAM Usage and Usage of multiple disks (If it actually uses their label and not drive letter, that would be brilliant!). would be ideal. Basically, a mini task manager, so that I dont have to keep that open on another monitor.

Perfection would be Task Manager Stats + Fans + Temps.

This seems to be cool (uses 2 bays, which means I throw out the DVD or get the 750D) but the main thing is that it shows only CPU, nothing else?

Looks nice, but meh.

After a lot of Googling, I found:

The other option is that I can get a Pi, but dont know how to find a LCD the right size, and then how to actually get the stats to the Pi to display?
