Project Winter

Tohrazer · 10 Feb 2014 at 07:47

So, i have all my components now APART from the NZXT H440 (White), will be posting a component list/picture in a little while to get the thread started!

I'll be naming my new rig winter since A) going for a white/blue theme, B) it's the middle of winter & it's pretty cold

EDIT: CANNOT WAIT FOR H440 ANY LONGER, BOUGHT A 540 IN WHITE

I couldn't keep waiting for the H440 after the recent delay so purchased a white 540, here are the results:

Looks beautiful mate - I prefer the white case to the black for sure

Very nice, tidy and clean.

Shame about the H440!

that white case looks amazing - I have the 540 in silver.. so jealous, wish I brought the white now I may have to RMA LOL

I have the black 540. The white version looks amazing, apart from the black vents.

I'd get some cable combs for your braided cables, that would tidy them up a treat

I don't think it looks that bad, but some white LED fans behind would look sick with that scheme

thanks for the comments guys! i've tidied up the braided cables a bit more since, it looks incredible sat next to me, very happy with the 540 white

The keyboard looks great in the dark. What keyboard is it?

snips86x · 6 Jul 2014 at 09:46

Personally I would have held out for the white H440. Not a fan if the 540
