    hi thats a great clean mod. if i was to get picky then i would say get an extension cable for your exhaust noctua fan and re-route that cable maybe at the top og the case or something, it doesnt look nice hanging in the middle of the case. Apart from that its great, really good design for some good airflow

    Get some holes next to the psu to hide your cables. If you paint / powdercoat the case black it will definately be awesome!

    Looks really good! as above, it would look really good with a black chassis.
