    I don't have all the materials yet, but here are some looks at what I am going to do.

    The monitors are my AOC 17 inch and a Acer 22 inch. The case is going to be modded and is a Gigabyte Aurora 570.

    I am trying to get a discount on the psu, but Corsair hasn't written back yet.
    Let me know what you think, and if there are other things that you would do.

    yellow on the inside?

    In the future, put outside color first, inside color second. That will make it easier for me.

    hmm, there is another yellow and black one here on the forum. i think yellow on the outside and black stripes/inside would be great(i cant see the pictures, so pardon me if im wrong)

    I am loving all of the ideas and feedback. Sorry that I don't have the parts to work on it yet. It may not be until December at the latest, so be patient. I will keep supplying pictures of all of the ideas. If there are any other ideas about windows, colors, fan placement, etc. please let me know. This will be my first mod, so any tips that you can give me, or ideas to get the juices flowing will be helpful.

    Here are the two designs for the orange and blue colors. I think that the black and yellow looked better though...let me know what you think!

    row 3,column 3
    those fans would look good in this case.(if it were blue/yellow) sometimes it would be good to get a product that would go in that case, and find the paint that matches that. say if you were to go with the fan the row above that one, for your orange/blue theme, i would buy the fan first, and then find a paint that matches that.

    I think that this would look good, with no color on the fans, and a red cathode.

    I think the black interior would be nice as it would hid the psu cables better when they come out from behind the case.
    Then again, the red shows off the parts better. What do you all think?

    why dont you use red interior but wrap the cables and hide them behind the mobo tray

    or even better make a box round the psu and the hide them

    I am going to use the corsair hx 620 watt psu. The cables are modular, and are wrapped. Most of them are flat, so it will be easier to route them.

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139002

    I will probably build a box of some sort around the psu. that way the cables will not be visible until the come out from behind the mobo tray.

    What do you think of the window. I am having second thoughts about it...:sigh:
