So, I've never had a cube case before and have always overlooked them. That was until i stumbled upon the LTT unboxing of the Corsair A540 and it was an eye opener. After a lot of research and forum browsing i found the white version and just couldn't resist.

 

Most of my old build will be going in the case for now with a few things in the post and there is a lot more planned for the future.

The other LED Strip arrived today so i could finally start building! The fan controller is a different shade of white to the case which is slightly annoying but ill sort that out later. There's also no way to screw it on from the top so it doesn't fit flush which is something else that i will have to try and work out a fix for, but overall I like how this build is going.
