Soldato
Always wanted to do my own ROG type build and now I finally can 
The rig is almost done, Just need to neaten up the cables a bit more, 1 or 2 details here and there, A few cable combs and I'm done.
I took the SSD apart, Sanded down the metal shell, Painted it black, Baked it in the oven for just over an hour *This is a real thing
* and once it cooled I put some Carbon Fiber Di-Noc on to it as well as the HDD.
**Sorry about the picture quality my camera isn't the best**
Night Shot -
Top view -
Front view -
Changed the white rings on the SP fans from white to a nice matt black, I did try red but they looked very out of place with the whole build -
Cable combs came in yesterday, Decided to go with transparent -
24 Pin cable comb -
Installed an LED strip along the bottom under the mobo and under the right side of the mobo, No point installing at the top as it wouldn't be very visible and would clash with the white from the fans at the top and rear -
The carbon fiber covered SSD and HDD *Breather hole on the HDD is on the underside* -
Backplate for the Phoebus arrived and installed -
Little video showing the memory lights in action -
And another video showing the reboot process i.e the speed and theme -
