I not long ago to my new case. Allthougth its not quite finished yet, I still have to braide a few more cables (specialtech ran out of the 2.5mm white dence braid so i got the last of what they had for now), I have to get another dyebomb for the dye too the purple is not strong enoygh at all. The promochill purple dye seems to fade badly after a couple of weeks. I may have to ditch it and go for some other coolant.
As for the case its self, I have a plan to have purple acrylic trim where the mest is along the side and have LEDs lighting it up and the DVD and res painted white.

looking sweet m8, nice and clean. I love the purple color.
maybe spraying the back exhaust fan white (or purple) and change the roof fan leds with purple ones?

Thanks mate.
Im looking for some fans with white frams, them im going to spray the blades purple, for the exhust fan and also three for the radiator (one for when i upgrade rad). Not got around to that yet.
Iv not been able to find any none UV purple LEDs yet, or I would do and UV LEDs dont give off enough purple glow (that your eyes could see). The fans had blue LEDs originally and I changed to white for now just to match. But im going to be changing the fans anyway.

Looks awesome and will look even better once the braiding and everything else is finished.

Thanks alot! The briding for the PCI-e cables is damn annoying to do. Well not so much the braid but getting the cables all the exact same lenght so they sit side by side nicely. And seeing as they are short cables anyways and dont get hiden, you see all where the cables have gone longer then others. I still need to braid the motherboard cable loom. Thats gunna be for seeing as its not modular (he says)

Oh they look pretty good. Ill have to have a look. I have some pink LEDs, but they are very pink. Ill check out your recomendation :) thanks!
 
The cable lengths for the most part look fine. As you've said there are some that are slightly longer/shorter, but I don't think it takes anything away from the fine braiding job :)

Why thank you. I still have to re-braid the 6pin PCI-e cable. Im using my old one for now as I dont have enough braid let to finish. But because how good the cables are on that Ill reuse them. Maybe.
