I picked up a beautiful NZXT Phantom. And enjoying every bit of it. I've been slowing working on her. This is my 1st Intel build but I have tons of AMD builds under my belt. I hope everyone enjoying this as much as I did putting her together.

If there's any changes I should make to parts I don't have. Feel free to voice your opinions Or ideas on loop setup. I'm open to all feed back and suggestions.
Here's a pick of the Mobo I'll be working with.
I picked up 2 200mm NZXT fans to put up top and replaced the included one with case that had blue led's. I modded the fans to have white led's. Sleeved all wires and there controlled by a bulgin push button switch that I modded into a drive bay cover.
I just got in today the NZXT LED sleeved cable kit - White 2m. These are pretty awesome. They have a push button for on/off and a 3 level brightness switch. They sure get the job done. JFYI the 2m is just long enough to around the side where the side panel is and overlap by like an inch.
I got a HW labs black ice 240 blue rad. It goes with the mobo beautifully. I have Bitspower black compression fittings 1/2IN x 3/4OD on the way. I have white tubing waiting to be sized and cut.
I picked up a bulgin white led push button switch and a Lian Li vented drive bay cover. I was soo skeptical if that cover would fit. It controls the top fans led's.
For just right now. I think its coming along very nicely. I definitely will keep this updated as parts come in. If anyone is interested in the fan light mod. I can easily put up a log on that. Don't hesitate to give me your feed back on this.
I'm thinkin of changing the stripe down the front and top to white. And possibly cutting out the fan frame off the side panel to make a window. I'll leave the mesh on to tint it down a little Cause thats where I'm thinking of mounting the res so its easily visible.

I just picked up some Crylon white gloss paint and painted a lil accent to the case.

Heres a shot of the cpu cooler that'll be in there. Its not fully mounted. Just doing a test fit to make sure I have clearance for it around the boards heatpipe.
