This is my first time building a pc, I finally got everything together after around 6 months. I've never done anything like this before, it was pretty fun. I can finally say I joined the PC race.

 

I think i'm going to call this build Storm, since the inspiration was for this build was based on the stormtroopers from starwars.

 

There's not much in the RGB department here but I don't think that's a problem? what do you guys think? I'm debating whether I should add an LED strip or something to light the case up.

 

Also does the case look better with the front cover on or off?

 

If you guys have any other suggestions feel free to tell me.

Looks great, and it actually looks more stormtrooper-esque with that front cover off imo.

 

If you want to add an LED strip I'd go with a solid white or imperial red.  Great looking build!

This looks great and I think it looks better with the front cover off and bonus better air flow too.
