Ok, I'll reverse it, thanks for the tip! I'm glad I don't have to change the top one, lol. Although it's easy to unclip the top of the case, you can't completely remove it because of the soldered wires for the top panel usb, headphones, e-sata etc. Also, I used rubber pull throughs which I took from the enermax to secure it so it would be more tricky to release it.

Btw, the screws that came with most fans were really hard to screw in to the fans. It's almost like they were just a bit too thick to thread through easily.

You're probably right. I tried my best, but I cannot see how else to better tidy them tbh. Some cables just don't seem to be hideable. You're thinking I should be cutting holes, right?

With all those different colored LED's I suggest pearl white with some "glitter" added. Is that too ostentatious?
