"I had the system built and in-testing for a while before tearing it back down and painting, then installing the lighting. Needed to make sure everything is solid before final build. Then.. I forgot about it till end of 2022... anyways it’s done now.

The ARGB strips from Phanteks sync with the RAM and MB providing a wave of colour from blues to purples and sparkle of white. I'm very impressed how smooth the LED strips cycle the colours. At night, the inside of the case looks almost like it is smoky or frosty, a subtle effect beaming through the white mesh side panels. Not in your face crazy RGB, but still sexy in motion IMO!

LCD screen on CPU block is programmable with your chosen GIFs. I've gone a lightening animation which fits the look nicely :)

The Green LED glow hidden in bottom left corner of the picture is my secondary M.2 SSD tucked away under the heatsink. Originally, it was located on the backside of the mainboard but it simply got way too hot. I found a PCIe extension cable to move it next to the fans at the bottom of the case. There is literally a couple of millimetres of clearance next to the fans (couldn't believe it fitted!), temps are amazing now with no noticeable performance loss from the NVMe extension cable.

I've also pre-installed 2x braided blue SATA cables and SATA power to the front section behind the front panel for future 'easy' expansion."
