In my opinion really a the PSU is not a problem for me just make a cover for it and that's it.
My build i try to keep it real world. I know cable sleeving and all that make's it look really pro, but not everybody has the time and founds to do so. That's why I did a cover a forgot all about that situation.
But I know you well come thru with some nice things in the future and make us all jealous thumb.gif
Well, I don't know how jealous I'll be able to make you all, but I will do my best. I think I'll avoid making a cover if possible, but I've seen some nice ones. I cracked out the zipties and did some work on the cables. They're still not perfectly in place, but I cleaned then up a ton. I didn't want to fasten them completely in place, as I'll probably have to remove a ton of them when I can order everything, and removing all those zipties to sleeve will not be fun either, so I only used a few. I wish hardware wasn't so expensive. Liquid cooling will be awesome in this case by the sheer amount of room(and I can't imagine how nice a 360 rad up top would be), but I'll probably be stuck with air... at least for a while.

Can anybody recommend a good cooler for overclocking that will fit inside with a 200mm side fan installed? (from personal experience, I saw the few listed on the main page) I'll probably order it with the rest of my hardware. I think I'll get a mobo, i5 3570k CPU, and new RAM first, as there is no way that my current hardware can reasonably make use of a GTX 670. I'm hoping I'll have enough cash set aside to purchase my Intel hardware in a month or two.

Suggestions please!

So I'm in the process of a Portal / Aperture science influenced mod, recently I got the decals I ordered, O got two Aperture Science logos one small and one large like this:
http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5029/5670919302_1014d2580b_m.jpg
The smaller of the two was placed on the door of the Phantom, the other one is about 4.5"-5" in diameter, I'm not sure whether I should put it on the side with the window I installed or on the other side where there is just the vent.

The third decal is the cake logo like this:
http://www.ggsgamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Portal-cake.jpg

Its about 2.5-3" in length aboud 1.5-2" in height, I have no idea where I can place it, any ideas guys?


EDIT:
Found these one ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/251024269208?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

Guess I don't need to replace all my fan LEDs with the 50 white ones I ordered over the weekend. I am taking a queue from mybadomen and using only white LEDs because everything in the case is properly color coded and rather than make everything blue with the blue fan LEDs I want to illuminate everything as it is.

LOVE PORTAL. One of my favourite game franchises. You should put the cake logo on the window, then get a decal like this to put on the small mesh on the side panel. Not sure what to do with the other logo decal though.

Looking forward to seeing this thumb.gif

Glad you are excited! I've been working really hard making this mod look nice after seeing all the greats in this thread post their modded phantoms throughout the year. Ever since I got my white Phantom it felt like it came straight out of the Portal universe so over the months I planned this mod in my head and now that I got cash from my freelance software work I can finally make it! Although I am holding off on replacing 4 of the fans because it would be mostly for cosmetic and noise reasons.

Just to give you a break down of what is being done to the case so you have an idea:
- Black trim painted blue with a matte clear coat so the white is still the shiniest
- Window where the large mesh was (one year in the making lol)
- large 200MM fan shroud painted same shade of blue but left glossy
- 200MM fan LEDs changed to white ones
- Cable management completely redone with blue zipties
- Aperture science decal on the door
- Larger decal on the side
- Cake decal (not sure, the window Idea is cool but not fully sold smile.gif )
- Another large white aperature science decal for my black Antec PSU, will be visible from the window.
- 4 white LED strips placed in the top of the case and posibly behind the front grill
- Modding my Apple Extended Keyboard II into a USB one and dying the keys like this one:

you can use this.

Fits fine with the top 200mm fans in place.

The ThermalTake Performer and Pro Water2.0 fit fine, too.

Just make sure you don't have the SIDE panel 200mm installed or it won't.

I love when I'm working on one mod and I begin to brainstorm another. I guess my hour long ride to and from work makes me think too much.
