The Air 540, I fell in love with it when I saw it in person, Had to get it.

Replaced the fans at the back and front with Bitfenix Spectre Pro Green LED 140MM's.

Night shots *Taken before most of the work was done* -

Also painted the fan rings on the 2 x Corsair SP 120MM fans so they blend in more -

Installed 3 x of these on the 2 x Front/1 x Rear 140mm Bitfenix Spectre Pro Green LED Fans, Covered the frames in carbon Fibre Di-Noc and also put some Di-Noc on to the centre of each fan for uniformity and then neatened it up with a precision blade -

Took apart my Neutron GTX 240GB and sanded the metal shell, Primed it, Painted it, Baked it for 2 hours in the oven and then let it cool and sit for 2 hours, I think it came out quite well.

I then put it back together and gave it and the WD Caviar Black 4TB some Di-Noc love ^_^

*The other 2TB HDD and 240GB SSD are both in the rear compartment*

Made an SLI finger cover from an old SLI bridge, Took off the ribbon, Sanded and cleaned both parts, Stuck them on to black plastic card, Put some Di-Noc on to it and then neatened it up with a precision blade and model file -

Replaced all Sata cables, Fan cables 8 Pin EPC etc... with Green Bitfenix braided cables apart from the PCI-E and 24 PIn Power cables which are custom Green and Black braided cables -

Got some cable combs for the 6 Pin, 8 Pin and 24 Pin cables, Nice and neat, Might get a couple more though, Also the Razer etched glass effect decal arrived and it's on the inside of the window for a cleaner look -

very nice rig indeed.

Where did you get your psu extension cables? or did you make them yourself?
 
Looks alright but a bit too much green light for my liking. Those red parts stick out a lot, you should try to fix that :)

Some shots of the other side?
 
Cables are nice but I couldnt have them fully on show like that

need some clear photos too, Ive actually got a white 540 Im going to be playing with soon :D

I bought the braided cables to show them though ^_^

Clear photos with my camera will be a miracle, More chance of getting a hobo that smells of davidoff cool water lol

Get the video up Tom, We need some Corsair 540 goodness :D
 
green =D, looking good! but I'm kinda with Tom, might be to much cables showing or it might just need to be a bit more tidy =D
 
You should stitch the cables so they are uniform and flow alongside each other nicely. Is it paracord or MDPC?

I just put my order in with Pexon so hopefully I can get them in a few weeks time.

Get some dark opaque acrylic or plexi and you can easily remove that red lighting.
 
I've swapped out the green/black cables for black braided cables, Finally got all black braided fan cables, 8pin CPU power, SATA cables, PCI-E 6 pin and 8 pin as well as motherboard power all from Bitfenix, Looks much cleaner and they have that lovely cotton type fabric feel, The ones before were those horrible mesh cables from akasa and even looked plastic.
The red in the middle is just from the soundcard and NIC which actually looks like a nice contrast in person.
The red at the bottom is the Corsair Force GT I keep some games on and have since taken it apart, Sanded it down, Primed it, Painted it black, Left it to dry for 24 hours and put carbon fiber Di-Noc on top, It looks the mutts !!! ^_^
 
She's a beauty dude! Very "Razer" who'd have thought :p

Thank you ^_^

Next on the list is another EVGA Superclocked GTX 780 Ti with Bitfenix 6 pin and 8 pin PCI-E black braided cables, EVGA Pro SLI Bridge *Going to mod the colour of the LED* and then just before summer hits I'll get the CPU Block, Pump/Res combo and Radiator I've been looking at from XSPC :)
 
The only thing that seems a little too much for me is the rear fan LED. Thats pretty damn bright for my eyes.

What Mat is that you have? My Vespula is getting a little worn out now.

The back fan will be covered on the inside of the case with a custom fan grill I have ordered, Here is the design but in a 120mm measurement, I'll be getting the 140mm version next week but in black aluminium so it will go nicely with the back fan, Also the camera makes it seem a lot brighter than it actually is.

The mat is the Razer Goliathus XXL Speed Edition, The latest version of the mat came out a few months ago and in my opinion doesnt look as good, Example below -

New Version -

Older Version -

The newer version to me looks good but the older one looks better, I bought both though as I couldn't make up my mind ^_^
