(The red and black cables will be replaced with all white cables, I'm just waiting for them to come back in stock)

This is proof that you can put a 280mm radiator in the Mastercase Pro 5.

In case you can't tell, I am not happy with the red cables.

I spent well over an hour on cable management and trying to get the side panel on.

And now I must wait for the white cables.

 

So, how did I do for my first build?

Nice build overall, I like the red cables though.  It adds a nice accent.

I have to say I agree with this, but single sleeved red cables would be better. Or maybe white and red single sleeved?

 

Overall though it looks great! good work man!

Nice color scheme and cable management. Any reason for the naming?

The reason for the naming was the all black interior doesn't reflect much light while the white reflects all light. So the name came from the idea that I could change the entire color scheme of the PC just by adjusting the color of the Hue+. That is also when I can't stand the red cables. Right now I have the color set to a deep purple and the red cables stick out.
