The Cooler Master Wave Master essentially has spots for 4 80mm fans. It is supposedly on the warm side, kinda worries me, but the case is beautiful, I must have it.

Replace all 3 stock fans and add the 4th to the top, take out the top i/o panel, with these :

The motherboard Im using (DFI LP UT ultra-D) comes with UV reactive sheaths for the cables in the comp.

Also probably going to use the xp-90C.

And slap this 92mm fan on it :

Fan Controller :

Couple questions.

1: Is the fan controller overkill? Those fans, especially the 90mm one, will be loud at max speed (like 48dB or something).

2: Ive never used fans with LEDs in them before. Is all that light going to be too much? Too gaudy? Or are the LEDs dark enough on these fans that it isnt too disturbing?

That is a fucking cool-ass case.

I like the slide out motherboard mount/back end.

Yeah I cant not get it cause of cooling issues. Coolest case Ive ever seen. Looks more like a piece of high end stereo equipment than a computer.

Just modified the order to include all that stuff. I really hope those lighted fans arent too bright, dont want it to look too bright, tacky :(
