Thinking about customising my unit!

[lawrence281]

So i've pretty much just got to the conclusion, I'll go ahead and plan to mod and customise my tower to my liking. i've always wanted to do it but..just havent forced myself to, especially now that I have the money...

Currently running it all in a Phanteks Ethoo pro..just the only thing I dislike about it,looking back is how big it is and wishing I got a more compact case, or silenced. Also the 200M Front fan is quite loud, even though I know you can take it out.

Any tips/suggestions or guides on where to start?
I was thinking about jumping into getting it watercooled
BLUE Tubes/cables etc
BLUE LED lights
Carbon fibre, custom sized stick I can order elsewhere thats pretty cheap to change the case colour.
Overclocking

Any other aspects that I could do/try implement to it?

But I've been thinking to ditch this case..and start it on a windowed Fractal R5, its spacious, has good possibilities and smaller and silenced..

SPECS:
8GB RAM
GTX 980
I7 4770K

Any input will be really appreciated..to help me gather ideas on how to plan it or improvements to add to the list to do..as Im not too creative haha

Would a fan controller not be a better (and less expensive) option as opposed to a whole new case (unless you dislike it that much) - either a discrete one plugged and controlled from the motherboard / on board software or a flashy bay one?

Modding a case can become a money pit and it's best to have a solid "this is what I want" rather than a vague idea. Do you want etched windows/lighting plates/watercooling etc?
Pick a theme that you can work towards; at the end of the day you're the one that'll be sat looking at it!

Will look into it..but yeah I pretty much want it to be windowed/blue led lights/ as much as possible and watercool my I7, which i will eventually overclock..but the main theme is blue
