receive my GPU, its a reference PCB but not reference cooler, ssd will be white with a special ting on it, and painted 2.5 to 3.5 adapter for a WD black 500G

I post this pics to show what happens with white sleeving with colored cable, but I don't have tools to do my cable, next project you will not see this again, but need to bevery close to see it

 

and I don't understand why fan look blue, they are UV, in person they are Purple

I really don't like where is the 24 pins on motherboard but I will keep it finally, not a the right place but not so bad

ait5 for other rad on top, I will paint the Un Holder and res mount white, and not sure but I think change rear fan for a purple led one,

I change connector for purple connector, I think I will put purple sticker on motherboard's 24 pins

with door, the 24 pins is not so bad, not a the real place but....., think if I keep gigabyte or change for an Asrock or stinger but its another $150 and more just for cable placement.......... not sure at this moment

I really like the fan In front, they seem to be invisible and only led are visible, change switch but the led on power switch are very low or dimmed, maybe in next order

I changed all connector for purple connectors, I really like it, I painted the res holder in white a lot better than black

look the color of the pastel purple coolant, wow!, I think its a perfect match
 

 

 

Like I said, still have a lot of job but I really like the purple theme,
