[Bramm17]

looks good i like that the blue lights from the fans don't over saturate the other parts very good

 

Thanks dude !! Your HAF XB is also cool!!

[zxcvbnmmssdh]

Nice look with the new Blue led. I would suggest just sticking with the one. The blue one in mine is in a bad spot. If you can find a good spot  to put it and really want a second color, go with it.

If I would go for a second LED I would go with blue again... But I think I am gonna stick with just this one LED... It gives a nice effect in the case already... 

 

Thing that I def want to upgrade is a new GPU.. Kinda hoping rumors are true about AMD 9XXX series near fall this year...

Hey, thought I would let you know I have a better picture of the Green/Blue on my feed. Back when the Blue led worked all the way. I need to cut a few parts off my case to get the lighting to work. I'll make the jump to an 8 core soon after I do some other upgrades first.

Very nice close-ups. I've always wanted to make a build in that case! Really nice clean build. 

[CJPowell27]

Yea there is a protective film on it

Thnx man :D!! I am also a blue fan, haha :D!

It was time to say goodbye to my old low profile-no headspreader slow memory and say hello to my new 16Gb Kingston Hyper X Blue 1600 memory !!

 

Fits the colors perfectly and I am very happy with it !!

GPU update time and I went for the new AMD R9 280X!! I choose the Sapphire Vapor X model because of the nice blue theme that matches the rest of the build nicely.. Only thing I also had to keep in mind choosing a model 280X was the length of the card due to the push-pull on my Seidon 240M... As you can see it is a tight fit but it fits nicely (As measured before ordering )

I know right !! Back in my student days I did not have the money to spend on a better one !

[CyBaNeTiiKz]

Like the build, but over blue with the LED's but they don't seem that bright so its not to bad! Love the backplate on that Vapor X

I also know the feel but I spend 50 dollars on an amd 760G board with am3+ socket and it was matte black.... still the best bang/buck i've ever had ...

[sperkowsky]

nice this seems like a good case for some lan parties

Yep the handles are really great and its a good one for LAN parties! And with all these lights def something you wanna show off

[Bramm17]

Even an other small upgrade...

 

Upgraded to Enermax TB Appolish fans. I came accross these at a event and just had to have them for the nice LED effect!

Final Result:

 

Conclusion... Guess the personal rig is never final and always a upgrade can be done !!

!!IDEA!!

 

Switch to small watercooling radiator and put it over the GPU or under the case where 2 80mm are.

When you place it on the only intake in the Case, you cut air flow for GPU which in games is used more than CPU (Used/Abused)

IDEA!! I have ALL fans set as intake fans to create positive airpressure inside the case!! So the 120mm at the back and also the 2  80mms at the bottom... Since this case is so open and all the air can flow out through all the openings mainly the side and rear.... So yea.. N

Yes bad choise of mobo but back then I was a student and really had to watch budget
