Just finished the last and most important performance upgrade for my PC which is of course...RGB LEDs! Also new front fans alongside the strips. The case actually only has mounts for one 120, 140mm or (a skinny) 200mm fan in the front but I could fit 2x120mm without probems with some cable ties. Actually kinda looks as if it was supposed to be like that. Before I only had plain old LED strips without RGB and people on the street started looking at me funny. Now that I'm one the cool kids, people finally gonna start treating me with respect! I actually try to do something useful with it and set it so that it changes color depending on CPU temperature, btw.

 

LED strips are 2x 40cm Phanteks Neon Digital RGB and the fans are 120mm Arctic P12 Fan PWM PST RGB 0dB.

The LED strips are 3pin, 5v pins, btw and the fans are 4pin 12v. Pretty glad my mainboard has both connectors. Cable management was a bit of a mess, though - but luckily I could make it work without extension cables.

Well atleast if you go rgb you actually chose a decent fan and not some other overpriced fan (looking at you corsair ll)

 

Though maybe consider the bionix rgb fans, from what ive heard they are pretty good

 

 

Btw nice build, the rgb looks nice, tho prob because it isnt set to rainbow puke mode xD

What are the specs?

The specs are in my signature - still has the old LED strips and fan in it, though. Everything else is still up to date.

 

Before the latest CPU/Board/RAM upgrade it was an i5 4690k with 16GB RAM, btw. Also in the same case which is pretty old by now but I still really like it and I'm glad I could squeeze the 2x 120mm into the front - nice airflow improvement compared to the old skinny 200mm fan.
