CABINET in the range 3k - 4.2k that has USB 3.

Coool, the lights look awesome...........
Did you get it from Prime?

 

[Thetrueblueviking]

No, got it locally.
ABGB would have cost me more with shipping.

My cable management skills suck so please don't be harsh
Some tips would be apppreciated
(prior to this I only used to mess around with my case, removing & cleaning the gpu and other components. This was my 1st shot at cable management)

 

[debarshi]

Oh Well, its not like you keep that side panel open, and no pics are there with the awesome side window on (No, I wont nag, you took the trouble to post the pictures)
But I am sure these wont show, when side panel is on..... And temperatures are okayish, so nuthing to worry about

 

[Thetrueblueviking]

I know that ... I didnt close that side panel on purpose because I hadn't finished installing the OS then. If there were any HDD troubles, I would have to open it again ...

Didn't get ur second point ... What wont show when the side panel is on ? And what do u mean by side panel being on ?

 

[debarshi]

I mean the wires wont show when the side panel is fixed back again
Good cable management is mainly necessary for good airflow and a good-looking factor.
No I dont mean anything being switched on (Sorry for that)

 

[Thetrueblueviking]

I ve probably kept enough space for air flow. The problem might arise when I place a GPU there .
It was tough to use the rear panel as it had only 3 openings that too small ones and on the same side. How would u rate the cable management - 5/10 ?

I have room for one more fan - I wanted to know some bright good fan with bright LED (should serve good for the ventilating purpose as well) that can help illuminating the inside of my case. Currently, the 2 led fans emit the blue LED towards the outside and so inside the case, its very dark and I can hardly see components through the window.

Is there any other way of illuminating the inside of the case besides using a LED fan ?

 

[debarshi]

Cold Cathodes, or LED Strips, I would recommend the latter though

 

[Thetrueblueviking]

Can I have links for both ?
And where do I connect them ?
Do these things connect Using Molex ?

 

[debarshi]

Hmmm.......
DIY Led strips can be connected to the molex but you have to check with amperage first.

Here is a link for bitfenix Led Strips Other : Pre-Order | BitFenix Alchemy Multisleeved Cables | LED Strips

Another is this Buy Modding | Modding in India | Buy Modding Online at cheap Price

So how do I power up these -
Sunbeam Bubble Light Red Blue Multicolor

Had a look of these on YouTube - not quite illuminating it seems.

 

[debarshi]

I havent seen them in person, so can't comment

 

[Thetrueblueviking]

Maybe this would be better
Sunbeam Laser LED Blue Red White

Comes with 4 pin molex as well. So would be easy to connect.

Bought one of these -

I have a doubt - Are those 2.5 & 3.5" cages in my cabinet removable ?
You ll say, try removing yourself. But I am not sure if I may break them while trying to do so especially if they aren't meant to be removed.

If they re removable,I can easily for a ~29cms card. If not, I ll have to stick with ~25cms.

 

[Myth]

Doesnt mention removable exactly, but you can unscrew them out

 

[Thetrueblueviking]

I only saw 2 screws at the top
And I get a feeling, unscrewing them would mean all of them fall in line

 

[Thetrueblueviking]

I installed the LED strip - here are the pics -
Will try to fit them in the previous post.

[debarshi]

What about the temperatures? I heard it was too high???

 

[Thetrueblueviking]

High as hell.

CPU temps rose to 100 deg just when I ran chrome+steam+foobar.
I opened the case and found the cause - check post here -
Now they re close to 60

check post 11 & 13 of this thread - *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/cpu-motherboards/167572-whats-wrong-my-rig-cpu-100-deg.html
