      i do have cardboard in my pc, however its inbetween two sheets of acrylic i used to make an rgb logo that is attached to the outside of my optical bay. so there is no risk of it getting even slightly hot, the hottest it will get is as hot as the ambient temp in my pc, and its only "temp"erary untill i get some white spray paint.

    If you want smoother lighting try painting the front side white or silver first before applying the black paint, it'll definitely be alot brighter and even!👍

    Omg the good old times! I remember your gpu backplate original video was one of your first videos and the first video I saw in your channel, back then you only had around 200 subs and I was only dreaming of building a pc, now you have 10k subs and I finally built my own pc! What a ride my friend, I'm so happy knowing you have grown so much in your UA-cam career! ♥

    Your videos have inspired me to create my first PC mod and I wanted to thank you for that. In the last few years I have not been able to work and have been looking for a "hobby" in which I could utilise the skills I have. The feeling of "Job Satisfaction" is irreplaceable. You made this possible for me. I am in your debt, Sir.

However decided to keep my Corsair carbide 500r case, but will be modding it, side windows, acrylic panels, gpu covers, psu cover and you tutorial are great. I also decided to do RGB lighting, however there is so many variations to do so. Can you do a video on this, how it works and what you need. Anyway, can't wait for the next video, congrats on 11k subs, you deserve more.
