Can't see most of your pictures, mate.
Use bottom link in photobucket to post pictures here

keaneo · 13 Jun 2014 at 09:28

Pictures are not great, thats what i get for using a iphone

keaneo · 13 Jun 2014 at 09:29

Sorry should be able to see pictures now

Bart_Hunt · 13 Jun 2014 at 09:48

50£ Nikon Coolpix is great for short distance photo's, that's what I used in my log ( Project Radster )

Are you planning to get braided cables?
Some white would look nice inside this case, considering the front led fans.
Maybe some UV light or led strip?

Looks good, didnt realise it had such a massive fan on the side! Would be good for cooling 290xs

The side fan is 200mm, the case comes with 4 fans total which is good but there not that great, better than nothing
