CM690 II Build with LED Ambient Lights

richardirv · 15 May 2011 at 13:34

Finally got round to taking a few half decent snaps of my latest build. Hope the LED lights don't look too chavvy. I'm not into UV lights everywere etc but thought these looked quite nice. What do you think?

Very nice and tidy. Lighting is subtle, not in your face. What's the gpu bracket?

they look nice as "white" but the green kinda ruins it for me im afraid m8.

i have white led's in my case as well and do look a lot nicer.

just my input

Do you mean the green in the case or the green light when the case is closed.

I know what you mean, there is no green light its just the clear plastic on the side panel is green plastic so the white led's look green.

Just like mine!

CM cases aren't the best for cable management (I have a cm storm sniper) but I love the fact that there is such a large bulge on the right side panel that I can fit my pump behind the drive bays!

Oh mine is flat when on, took a lot of work but I did it. Compared to my old case which was an antec 900 this case is has amazing cable management. Just wish the space round the back was a half inch wider.

yeah I actually think your case is easier to hide cables (not necessarily able to hide more cables) but it's harder to hide the cables in mine as it just has the motherboard tray to hide cables behind.

Plenty of forward thinking, tie wraps & strong tape is the key!!

KiiYzOo · 15 May 2011 at 14:51

I just can't be bothered with doing more cable management

when I eventually get some braided extensions I will
