Yeah, black onn black and make the cable routing holes rounder and larger so you can put some rubber grommets into it.

im going to u-channel 'em, they are cut so the cables only just fit in, so there shouldn't be much room to move!

firstly, H100i, not much explaining needed here, but there is a small modification coming that will set it apart from the rest!
post-36132-0-06629300-1386443035_thumb.j
 
obviously, the 2 corsair stock fans that come with the h100i, and to some peoples disappointment, i have 2 more on the way, i know they aren't the best but my friend was selling them cheap, and at least this way they will all look the same!
post-36132-0-08075700-1386443039_thumb.j
 
a small 92mm fan for the rear of the case..

i also brought some cable extensions, as i realised i just don't have enough time to sleeve them myself :(
i managed to grab some black case feet from work off of an old ups too!! 
 
Tomorrow i am putting everything in the case for a test run, and ive come up with a few extra ideas so i looking forward to trying them.. stay tuned for tomorrow nights updates

I would go for 290x, compared to price of 770/780/780ti + mantle looks cool ;)
I'm looking forward to the next update!

UPDATE: 08/12/2013

 

Hey guys, as promised, ive put most of my hardware into the case so you can get a feel of what it going to look like, still waiting on the two fans for the rad, and then im set to send of for spraying! front panel cutting is also in progress.

ignore the stock heat sink and crappy ram for now and the cooler isn't fitted yet as im still using it for my main pc which i use everyday.

I would really recommend you get a R9 290 it performs so close to a 290X; and for the price nothing can compare.

You should figure out a way to move the power supply down stairs. I'll look better, but that's just my opinion.

 

Regardless, awesome build - I really want to see this completed, it'll be a joy.

UPDATE: 03/01/2014

 

Hello all, hope you all had a good Christmas and new year!

small update, my acrylic side panel came today!

 

The side window i decided on is a two way acrylic mirror, it is the same concept as the mirror they use in police investigation rooms,

when a light is placed behind the plastic/glass you can see though but when no light is present it acts as a mirror. it is similar to the

material used on the In Win "Tou" case (previously seen on ltt coverage of Computex). the idea it for the case insides to be hidden until all internal leds are active.

(i have a back up piece of acrylic in case it doesn't give the effect i want or it looks bad)

 

take note, its better in person than it is on the photos, its hard to get a good image of the effect

 

- Fresh :D

Why can't you get a 780 instead of a 290? They are about the same price, but the 780 is more stable and is faster, too.
