WOW! I love the design!
The Geisha on the side panel is great! Really liking this.
It's unique amongst all the flat colour, black or white cases with ultra-RGB.

I like the vibrant use of colour!

Great work, but personally I'd consider two things:

1. The LEDs are clashing with the nice paint job. Kinda like putting spinner rims on a Bentley. Id lose the RGB and pick a color complimentary color to you paint job. The best part about that build is the gorgeous paint job and the clashing LEDs draw they away from that.... Its kinda like looking at a photo of Charlize Theron in KISS makeup. When I look at Gene Simmons, I wanna see KISS makeup, but not Charlize. I think the lighting should compliment the case, not draw attention from it.

2. I think the whole idea about cables is making it so you you don't see them. The UV sleeving and conflicting lighting colors reminds me of the flourescent green and powder blue striped bellbottom jeanss I wore to school on the 1st day of 9th grade :) If ya keep them exposed, if ya can add some cable combs to provide a sense of order.

Everybody likes different things ... so there's no right or wrong. You are the person who will sit next to it for the next 2 or 4 years. so what you like is all that matters.

I hope that my cable management is not that bad. It's a pain the ass to route all these cable to have a clean look. You wanna put more nice components but end getting a lot cable clutter. But the case has rubber holes to route all your extra cables

I have been watching Youtube for rgb components idea. I see that they even now has rgb ssd and rgb video cards etc.. I will also add rgb peripherals to my setup such as: corsair rgb headset stand and a rgb headphone. Already have a rgb mousepad

Great work!

It's a Thermaltake core Core x-71 tempered glass edition full tower case.

I think most people don't considered that even your mouse and keyboard can be airbrush

Initially I had no idea what to airbrush. Had been googling for a while. My friend said why not a cartoon character like Kungfu panda or maybe a super hero thing. Till I found this Geisha picture on Google. Was wll worth it. Had to print it on a big paper first then airbrushed it carefully. Took some time though.
