This is my first build where I wanted to make something cool with a theme and not just a little mid-tower stuffed under my desk. My inspiration/build theme was the Warmind network from the Destiny universe. I also wanted to build something EVGA-centric. My first GPU I ever bought was an EVGA and I've become a loyal fan since. The LED color is 255 Red, 10 Green, 0 Blue. Took me a bit to find the perfect color, its like a blood orange. Pictures are close, but it makes 'em look a little more orange than IRL. Fans (except GPU/CPU Rad fans) are controlled by Corsair Commander PRO module. Not pictured, I also have the EVGA Z10 keyboard and the EVGA Torq X10 Carbon.

Let me know what you think! (Parts breakdown is in my signature/Mods Rigs link.)

    I have this case and although it looks nice I hate it.
    There is no place for a internal dvd/blue ray player and only 2 places for hard drive and only 2 places for ssd's.
    Had I known that I would not have bought it.
    I have a lot of stuff on dvd and am using it for my Plex media player.
    I have a EVGA x99 FTW K WITH A I7 6 core cpu and 32 Gb Corsair RGB Vengeance and 2 NAS hard drives that equals 16 terabytes (1 6 and 1 10) of space.
    I have 1 1080 SC2 and 2 1050Ti video cards (which I am going to replace the 1050's with 1080's later).
    I have 5 Noctura 140 mm fans in the case with a EVGA radiator for cpu (120x120mm) and a EVGA 1200 P2 power supply.
    Yep, yours looks better than mine but I like Noctura fans as they are garenteed  for 6 years and are very quite.
    I just wish the case had more options for hard drives and internal dvd/blue ray.
    If it had that i would love it.

    This was the one item that I also was surprised by. I didn't pay attention when I bought it. I was annoyed at first because I now had a useless internal DVD drive, but I got over it eventually, and ended up getting a cheap USB RW CD/DVD drive.
     
    The upper tier version of this case has drive cages for I think up to 8 SSD/HDD. Too bad EVGA can't/won't let us add those cages to ours since the lower tier versions still have all the cutouts and stuff for them.

    Very nice and theme oriented build! It may be the lighting, but it looks like you may have braided cables! I would totally reroute the cables if they're braided :P Show em off a little

    Its the lighting haha. I have the hoses from the GPU and CPU Coolers coming together and disappearing behind the EVGA panel. I have boring and ugly ribbon cables coming from my PSU. Better cable management is possibly my next thing What I have going on now is good, its not a mess per say, but I have been thinking about doing custom braided cables for my PSU.
