    Haha, a few of my fans are red already, but they're just weak and one of those would really fit the red/black theme I'm trying to pull off.

    If you do not already have an SSD it will be a noticable upgrade, perhaps get the SSD and safe some more for the GPU?

    Go with this IMO, an SSD really is a noticeable change.

    OT: I was tempted to buy a 7950/s today, but I snapped out of it and saved some money instead and bought the nzxt red led kit to spice up my case, of course that means I have to sort out the mess that are the cables in my case lol, and I gotta find a way to stop these graphics cards from sagging.

    Just installed my new 140mm Akasa AK-195 fan with white LED's

    Pic (also of my complete setup actually):




    Also I'm considering replacing my 2 120mm fans on my H100 with some white LED fans too, although I can't decide if it's gonna be too light and if it's gonna blind me :P. It would probably look awesome as hell, but I'm still not sure.

    Rig:
    Intel i5-3570K @ 4.0GHz | Corsair H100 | ASUS GTX670 2GB DirectCU II | ASUS Sabertooth Z77 | 16GB Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz
    750W Corsair TX V2 | 1 TB WD Caviar Black | 120GB Corsair Force Series 3 | Cooler Master Storm Stryker

    Nice Stryker.

    I found some lights to properly shine up my rig with while I take pictures, yay. No, I'm staying the heck away from installing anything resembling LEDs and such within the case itself. Just the debug LED, glowing Asus logo and some other small accent lights is more than enough for me. Maybe a soft white...

    The SSD is just using velcro. Perhaps too much velcro, because I damn well nearly snapped off the cover on top trying to remove it last time.

    What, do you mean the cable management? Or the blue sleeving? Those are cable sleeves, you can do it yourself if you have the time, patience and tools. OR you can grab Corsair's sleeved kits for their PSU's...wish all PSU makers did this....I suspect that's what Drunken is running (no offense if you sleeved those yourself Drunken!):

    Corsair sells whole cable sets in certain colours.

    The cable sleeving is the Corsair kit. I found out I could get them pretty cheap, so I decided I'd check 'em out.

    Hell no. I'm sticking with the AX series for its modularity.

    D1/DX pci version. was debating getting a pcie card but opted to chose a PCI one to give my graphics more space and leave my second slot free incase I ever decide to get crossfire/sli.
