Hello out there,

the picture show's a rig in progress...i'm unsure about the GPU cables - leave them white, swap them to black, or do a mix?
any opinions are appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Agreed. The White gives it that custom detailed flavor..
Black would work, but would just be vanilla.
Black and White .. ummm, NO.
Black and Red ... ok, so I'm an addict.

Very Nice. .c.

Looks good to me as you have it...replacing cables with black might leave a void down the centre if you know what I mean...the spacing at the moment white black is good.

Make sure you populate the 8 pin ATX power too! 😉 And for 3 GPUs you might want the EZ Plug PCIe power too...

Thanks all for your answers so far!
@Arne: EZ is allready connected cable is hidden and black so you can't see it, 8 Pin ATX extension cable in white hasn't arrived yet...
Build is still in progress, the picture shows a test fit in an early state of the build, to to get an idea of the look. Many materials haven'( arrived jet and will be added. Also the case painting isnt finished.
Btw i hate my smartphone by typing this...

a smart phone isn't as smart as you think it is 😉
just look at "damn you autocorrect" 😛

first of all i wasn't sure about posting in "Build Advice" or "Case Modding", so i simply use this thread...
as time and this build goes on, i spend some thoughts about lightning and would like to hear some opinions again.
the picture below shows test fit with some lightning, to get an idea of the look of the white panel and HDD/SSD mounting.
the drives are mounted on plexi and light up with blue LED's. i used just one 30 cm white LED Strip at the top, so that the blue does not shine so bright in the surroundings. maybe a second at the bottom is needed to clean the light up even more to the end that only the edges of the plexi are shining blue.
so what are your thoughts about the white panel?

Thanks in advance!

Wow...Looks amazing, if you're asking me. That white panel storage setup looks simply cool.
Keep up the good work. 😄
