Well i know it's no reason what so ever to paint the flat area. But i had to remove all of the (Loud/Noisy) Red color. 

 

Going to Repaint the Dominator Airflow too. coming up later

Good to see i'm not the only one who thought mounting fans in the front of an H440 was a bitch

 

Btw, loving the white. I did the same thing, but black plastidip :P

Bought a powermac G5, expect a mod log sometime in 2015

Corsair is overrated, and Anime is ruined by the people who watch it

Mounting the corsair 120's were even worse then i thought.. The rubber grommets just kept twisting..

The case fans are corsair 120mm fans, and the corsair dominator airflow fans are ram coolers

It's only held onto the case by screws, and the plastic is help by plastic sticks with ends melted flat. I just scraped the ends off and pulled the acrylic and white backing off. Also, the leds just slid out of their holes.

 

Pretty easy, really

Well.. anyone know if there are sleeved cables available for the coolermaster v series?

As it seems the fabric sleeved cables i bought from corsair obv don't fit. 
Is there any stores that sell them or do i have to contact a modding site?

Sleeving them myself is not an option. i have done it in the past a few times, and the amount of time it takes just isn't worth it for me.
