Here it is, the custom shield I designed for the graphics card.

Just saying, you might want to put an LED strip or whatever on the top of the power supply. The bottom of the graphics card looks kind of shadowy

Yeah I agree, Right now I'm using UV cold cathods, I'm debating if I want to try to add more light somehow.  I'm just worried that LEDs will ruin that blue glow I have going.  My other thought was to add a cold cathode along the bottom of the card tucked in between the mobo and the card itself attached to the pci slot, that way there is a glow down there but you dont see the light.

i wish my build could look half this good

 

If you build it, they will come, and hopefully not hit a baseball through your side window.

the custom sheild looks awesome, you should try to focus some light on that so it pops out a little more than it does. It's kind off hiding right now

I feel like you should go with a little less light it seems to just wash everything out.

I'd wager that's more to do with his camera than actually being washed out. I'm sure it looks better in person. UV never really shows up all that great in pictures unless you've got a ludicriously good camera.

 

I'm excited for the finished shots. Anything Tron is an instant eye-gasm to me.

Nice job man. You should sleeve the entire non modular cables though. I did on my hx750 and they came out great.
