    Please do more build videos, idc if there is limited stock right now. Most people couldn't build a PC of this caliber anyway. We watch vicariously, salivating over that oh so sweet b roll footage

    I'm all for continued builds. It's always good to watch a rig come together and every video gives people a chance to potentially pick up a new pointer. If you give away the PC -- or have a genuine use for it -- I believe it's perfectly fine. There's a big difference between adding to a cosmetic wall of PCs and pursuing a passion/fulfilling a purpose.

    Red is certainly a nice colour for the cables, but I can't help thinking you'd want a mix of red and maybe a deep yellow, with a few black and white wires, and maybe even one green one and, for spice, a blue wire or two. And maybe wrap them in some sort of see-through black mesh or something. (/s, in case anyone missed it.)

    I am transferring my system into this case, but the all-white snow edition. My only hangup was my 360mm AIO that won't fit at the top with a full ATX board (without modding it somehow). But today I finally found a white 280mm AIO from Germany called the Alpenfohn glacial water. I couldn't find a white 280 available in the US anywhere. Now I can fill this thing out perfectly with fans only at the top and bottom with the 280mm AIO at the side, I cant wait to build it!

    I would paint the pump/res mount silver or white so you don't have all that black showing from the front. As for the cables, I would do red in the center and then gradually fade from grey to white working out from the center. It would be a little more work for the guy doing the cables but the end result would look pretty cool. Get a double 8pin bridged PCI-E connector cable. Silver cable combs to match the silver accents on the fans and the loop.

    @edwinb.140 3 роки тому

    Loving the build so far- you da man, Paul!! Can’t wait to see part 2. Before I decided to hold off on a new build until prices and availability becomes more reasonable, I was considering this case because of its modularity; never thought to free up the real estate in the front by downsizing physical dimensions and relocating the power supply! Genius! It’s got me reinvigorated thinking about moving forward with a stopgap build around the 5700g when that drops in august complete with over the top cooling at the ready and an abundance of led lighting to display the void that would be the gpu! LOL
    Lastly, on the custom cable extensions, I’m envisioning white on the 6 top and bottom outer lanes with a combo of black, red, light gray(or silver) in the middle, favoring gray or silver.
    Cheers!
