Painting

[ZeusXI]

Im thinking about painting the Riser fan holders (cut out old fans to raise the radiator off the front enough so the tubes were not lower than the CPU pump and have the bubble go through all the time making it whine) and then painting my SSD white as well to go with the theme of my build.

 

Here is the Fan risers I made. They didnt work anymore so i took the fans out of them.

 

 

 

Here is with the risers in place to push the radiator away from the front (sorry for the dust, been trying to dust while taking these pictures)

 

 

 

Here is the most recent update of the Arctic Core build. I was thinking about putting the SSD right to the right of the motherboard 20+4 pins and pain it white to bring some more color into the case. Also, Im thinking about adding in some RGB LED or just plain white LED which will be on the top, right side, and then bottom. Any thoughts would be great.

seems like a decent plan,

 

but why would you not just put the cooler in the top of the case and put some fans in the front?

It doesnt make a difference in cooling tbh. i see almost no difference where i put the Rad. I just like it in the front tbh. seems to keep the air bubbles from whirling this way mounted as well. Also, i dont like the cooler in the top because this case does not have filters on the top, so more dust can get in.
