Other than that blue spiral wrap stuff, your build is awesome

Braided cables would be my choice but overall it looks great!

IMO the blue spiral wrap on the cables isn't a good look. They'd be better just left alone so they blend into the background.

Point taken

Thank you for the kind comment. In about a month or so I will have this project complete and post updates again....

Thank you and point taken...initially I wanted to do something different to the norm hence air cooling not liquid and spiral wrap not braided etc...I must admit that white braids is the way to go for me now....will keep you posted and thanks for the feedback

tbh I haven't seen many spiral wraps at all...maybe why it's not my thing!

love the window on top. has all that cutting taken any of the rigidity out of the case?

I always wanted a top window, however some felt it might have a negative effect on air cooling.....I can tell you that my system actually runs between 3 and 5 degrees cooler with the top panel in place ( I am sure not losing pressure through the top grill could have something to do with it. In reply to your question....the case integrity is perfect, it is not wobbly or anything like that. I was worried that the removal of the HDD bays might cause an issue, but can report that this 400R stands firm and is not flimsy at all!
