I like it. Why wouldn't you call it "The Dark Knight" though? It isn't white lol

Thats wehre the Hue Plus is going to come in, the MOBO is white ish and the LEDS will be WHITE 100% of the time, Also the cases default lighting is white. Its more of a WIP I am a little broke building systems for friends to make a couple bucks here and there to buy a new keyboard monitor and the HUE, Might update later but you do have a point haha
