I really love these 540 builds, really tempted to sell my Haf X and get one.

this is great, can you adjust the brightness of the LED's ?
Nope, it's a straight on or off. I did look at some form of adapter to add it to one of the Bitfenix Hydra channels, but never got round to it in the end. Should be possible though.
Yeah, quite chuffed with them - my room looks like Christmas with the lights off
Do it! Dooooo iiiiiit!
This makes me want to turn mine sideways lol. Shame I can't because of my desk though

Tough choice, I bought my Haf X purely for cooling performance, which it does brilliantly.
But then again I imagine would be great as it would have less restrictions (IE Hard drive cage, cables) and would look amazing as you've shown with all your gear on show, lit up with the LEDs
Probably already been answered but what would be better 3x 120mm or 2x 140mm for the front of this case in terms of cooling and air flow?

I've been trying to decide between this case and a Switch 810, and I think you may just have tipped the scales in favour of the cube!
Really like the LED lighting, nice simple, clean build.

I would say probably the 3 x 120mm for airflow. Might get a bit noisy unless you use a fan controller and/or quiet fans. Dead happy with my box now, don't think I'll be changing the setup much for quite some time.
Cheers
Can't recommend this case enough, bit on the pricey side considering the amount of plastic involved in it, but aside from that it's a nice piece of kit!

Are the fans that come with this case normal AF140 fans? I notice the product description quoting them as AF140L.

Basically yes. The "L" meaning light version ie. without the interchangeable coloured rings and anti-vibration pads

Cheers,
I nearly ordered new AF140's until I noticed what was in it. No point in buying new fans if the stock ones are doing the exact same job! Plus, I'm going to put a 360mm rad in the front at some point in the near future, so AF140's will be replaced anyway.
Thanks.

Something i plan to do but i cant figure out where he has those uv leds
I've ordered acrylic tubing and the rest of the gubbins so going to give this a shot myself. Those are some bends he has going on there. Might anneal the tubes in the oven so to prevent any mishaps

It will be acrylic tubing that's been put in an oven/heatgun'd.
i want to share something sexy with you guys...
found this over on overclock.net amazing what can be done with this case.
Should have posted it into the 540 build thread, not ideal posting it into someone elses build log
but looks great nonetheless - Adam
