Current plan is big window with ring of stainless steel cap screws on the panel looking into the case

UPS has failed me once again, the case is sitting in the regional distribution center (which is about 3 miles from my house) since last night 9pm, yet they decided not to send it out until tomorrow. I hate that company, they have messed up probably 90% of my personal shipments, and I will never ship anything through UPS that someone bought from me ever again.

On a lighter note, the case weighs 42.60 lbs!

I just ordered 100ft of pure white paracord. Issue now is whether to go with all white sleeving, or to replace all the silver sleeves with white, or replace all the aqua colored sleeves with white. So in other words, Should I go with:

1) All white sleeving
2) White + Silver sleeving
3) White + Aqua sleeving

I'm leaning on 2 or 3.

I voted White & Silver - I think the Silver would be a nice touch and go well with the stainless steel cap screws you are planning to use

Yeah, I was at first going with the aqua + white, but I think now that the white + silver would be so much nicer. Also, for the time being until I get a Sabertooth Z77, I'm going to make my own thermal cover for the motherboard. it will be white.

That sounds very cool!! I told some engineers at Asus that they should consider selling thermal covers for their boards separately, but they didn't think there was any demand for it.

They know there is a demand, they just want it to be exclusive to the sabertooth series to sell more of their more expensive boards. (Imo) I hope to have my thermal cover down tonight. It's gonna be fun figuring this one out.
