i want to do a white/purple build(not sure what case) have you seen it done before?
Well he didn't paint that Tempest exactly like you did, and your case is different. Most people buy Antec 900/1200s and make them blue/black, it's very very rare that you see a green/black NZXT Tempest. This case has lots of potential, I created this community because I feel that there are more ideas out there.. from what I have seen, there are.

As for a white/purple case.. I think I have seen a white/purple Lian Li before.

i think the cooler master aqua gate max would look good in our green tempests. i know cm water cooling products arent highly rated but i think it would look amazing

I think eventually, I'll just get a tower cooler and a green 120mm fan for it.

I think I remember that build log. Your paint turned out nice.

Also, thank you about my cables. It takes a lot of work to get the cables hidden like I have, but I think everyone can do it if they give it a go.

Thanks on the paint, tho no one has liked the yellow which is funny.
Question on the wiring, I would like to know how you got it so tidy I had some trouble getting wires to fit behind things, As well did you use a lot of extenders

Well, I'm not too keen on the colors, but the finish of the paint looks good. I'm not going to dog your case just because I don't like the colors. It has been nicely painted, and you like it. That's all that matters.

I used an 8pin CPU extender just because it wouldn't reach without it. Other than that, everything just runs to the back of the motherboard tray. Maybe I should make a video or take pics of the back of my motherboard tray.

I do not know why either, but this case is just very visually pleasing.

Hmm some pictures of how ya did it would mucho appreciated =)

Also I think the dual 140mm fans look so much better than the one huge antec one as well as the side panel is better looking
