From Stryker to Trooper

I am attempting my first PC case mod, and thought that the LTT forums would be a good place to get some help.I am using a CM Storm Stryker case, and would like to turn it into a Star wars themed build.

I am looking for any ideas that fall into the white, black, and red color scheme that I'm going for, so feel free to post any ideas.

Stipulations:

-I have no problem painting my case, but I will not cut it. However, I am not a painter, I will more than likely be spray painting a stencil.

-I am a broke college kid, I don't have much walking around money, so nothing too crazy (more than $700 US)

-This is not a passion build, this is my first computer. I do not have a backup, so I need functional and reliable concepts

what I need help with:

- Custom water cooling loop: hard or soft? Rad? pump? liquid? reservoir? Blocks?

- New PSU: something fully modular

- Leds

- Fans

 

I'm excited to see what people have to say, no ideas will be shot down.

If it has a glass panel, you should cover the front part of the psu in all white, outline a stormtrooper's helmet in black and highlight the details in black (like it normally looks lol)

 

But other than that I got nothin

Thanks for the submission, but right now I'm just trying to stay afloat. I had midterms last week and spent most of my time researching for my essay, or job hunting. Once I find a job, I will continue the project. This is more of a hiatus than a cancellation, and since this is my only computer, I am never going to stop upgrading. The stencil is a good idea though, I will more than likely use one on the steel-part of the windowed panel.

I'm aware, but i personally don't prefer cathodes when all I have to do is wait. I'm going to begin the painting soon, Plastidip is only $5.95 and I can print the stencil at home, Led's are relatively cheap as well, but I need molex splits to have better cable management with my current PSU.
