Plans for my mod

[Sandu]

I don't have all the materials yet, but here are some looks at what I am going to do.

The case is going to be modded and is a Gigabyte Aurora 570.

I think that this would look good, with no color on the fans, and a red cathode.
I think the black interior would be nice as it would hid the psu cables better when they come out from behind the case.
Then again, the red shows off the parts better. What do you all think?

If there are any ideas about windows, colors, fan placement, etc. please let me know. This will be my first mod, so please make comments on anything.

I will need help on changing leds so that the original blue front leds are red.

To sum it all up, I will be painting the case, cutting the motherboard tray for wire management, making a window to see the psu (not sure, but it is a possibility), adding lighting, and possible more fans. The existing fan holes will be cut out for better air flow. Finally, the front panel has blue leds, which will be replaced with red.

I like it. Is it water cooled?

Heres what I think:
Gloss Black w/ Heavy Gloss Red Accents for Exterior
and
Matte Black for inside.

It won't be water cooled at first, but I hope to water cool it later (money!)

Dude Red Cathodes tend to look pink so, you've got 3 options:

1) get the red cathodes but build red plexi boxes around them
2) Get red perspex for the entire window and still just use cathodes.
3) Buy Red LED's

there my 5cents worth, Sketchups look good, GOOD LUCK! X)

Or put red film around them. Or color them with a red Sharpie.

It will probably be red LED's then. I haven't ever done that before, so I would appreciate any help once I start.

Yeah, LSdiodes.com has some pretty good prices. However in the 20 or so that I've ordered, I've come across about 3 that went dead within 1/2 hour and a few that were dead out of the package. -So make sure you order a few extra. :) -FYI, I ordered the 5mm blue leds.

[Sandu]

how many should I get to make a nice even glow? and to still have leftovers?
