Now Some Pictures:

 

Stuff arrived!!

 

 

So far so good...

 

Ready to paint the motherboard's armor

 

Applied thin coats of paint. Leaving like 30min between coats

 

 

 

 

GPU arrived! Not that hardcore but it will do just fine!

 

Now with the GPU!

 Next I want to paint the backplate white... What do you think?

Is it running linux (speaking it's a penguin and it has tux in the name)? If so, what distro ?

 

 

Hot build btw!

[Oberon.Smite]

Very nice, but I'd keep the backplate black.

Hot build btw!

Ubuntu(trusty tahr) as day to day but running debian(jessie) boxes on vagrant/virtualbox for development   

Thanks!

Very good looking build!

Noice ! I think the backplate in white would be too much white.

Sweet! Used to do a lot with lubuntu back a few years ago

I think keep the GPU black, but get some lighting on the underside of it.  Other than that holy crap if I could make a computer this clean oh my I'd never actually use it I'd just stare at it!

everything looks so fucking nice omg. But one thing, i tot that motherboard comes in a version where it is white?? or it is more expensive? 

 

Everything looks just nice no overdone or anything a lot people tends to overdo the white and this is just perfect. Air cooling ftw, i kinda wanna swap out my custom cpu water cooling to go back to air tho, with a dark rock pro 3. What cooler is that tho? Universe?

Thanks man!

Yeah the white one is almost double the $$ 

The air cooling is SO SILENT in this case!! Going for 2 140mm as intake was a good choice.

It is the Cryorig H7  it is 140mm in height, and saw great reviews, $35 bucks so I went with it   

Those Be Quiet are very good looking!

yup s340 is indeed a very silent case for some reason, it does not have the noise proof material or sound dampening foam but somehow it is silent af. only one problem, the side panel, i use to have s340 before i have enthoo luxe so i dealt with it for quite sometime. 

The side panel i use to place it on bed every time i need to access something within. But holyshit it scratches so fucking easily.

haha yeah, I knew about the panel being easy to scratch so I didn't took off the protection until I was done!

Now I remember that in some other topic you told me you had a glass panel.

Actually I want to buy the 100% cast acrylic panel that mnpctech makes for this case. It is supposed to be more clear and harder to scratch... I hope...

Lol I told quite a few person about that no idea who I told. Ya I had full glass. The shop is kind enough to not extra charge for their work tho. Since they need to cut off the clip and shit. Yours looks way better than my s340 god now I feel like getting that case again lol
