Looks good, but the light on the top doesn't match anything, same as fans on the side panel...??? Do you really need them?
You should go for all blue or white lights, it will look a loot better.
 
I don't know how you did it... because normally I look at all mismatched anything and my OCD goes ape... but somehow you have managed to make this mismatched case look appealing to me. Something about the chaos seems very calculated in it's execution. Nice hardware specs, too!
 
I know it looks a bit hassle but I just did not have an obvious vision about those fans and other lights... I was wondering if I should grab couple of 30cm BitFenix Alchemy strips and install them to the top and bottom sections of the side panel. Do you guys have any suggestions for fans or cathode/LED lights that would look nice. If you have a vision, please tell me and I'll consider implementing good suggestions this month and will provide more pictures when making changes to my rig.
I'm also aware of that the 670 is bending that PCI-E slot but haven't figured any way to fix that...

I agree with Raven, but in case you want to be able to switch the color of the lights, then invest in a NZXT Hue :)
 
I agree with raVen and Xayer, to me the lighting on the top and the side doesn't match anything you've got in there. I think it would look much better if you went with a simple white lightning in there.

Nope, this is the very original HyperX with blue heatspreaders. I guess that the Predator series was not even launched when I got these, or the supplier did not have them yet. But anyways, Kingston HyperX 4x4Gb kit running @1600Mhz.
And thank you mate!:)
 
Thanks everyone for your opinions, I really do appreciate them:)
I'll replace some of the fans and lights this month and see what happens. I noticed that you guys have an eye for aesthetics so what do you think, should I change all the fans into white ones and get those white BitFenix Alchemy strips + replace UV Red cathode lights with white ones to make this rig super white :D

Good Idea:)
 
man, i gotta second JMMP, adjust that GPU quick! you dont want to damage your slot (or maybe worse: your GPU, but i dont know if that can actually happen... however i wouldnt wait to find out). nice lookin rig tho
 
Unscrew that GPU and push it upwards while your tightening the screw so it sits straight in your slot and prevent potential damage. Doesn't seem dangerously out of place, but just to make sure.
 
Oh I forgot the whole GPU already :D I'll adjust it right away to see if it makes any difference as this case uses clips to lock all add-on cards, thanks for reminding me :)
