Very clean build.

I'm currently working on something similar with the same case, just waiting on the new ML RGB Elite Premium fans then I'm good to start building.

watch out with white lighting not to put the brightness too high, it tends to kill leds quickly ^^' would be a shame in such a nice first build 🙂

the intermediary fittings in the tube runs look pretty good, and give some welcomed flexibility for mounting 😛

Thanks for the tip with the LED. I didnt know that. Normally, it runs much less brighter colors, But its good to know. 

Initially, I ran through a full pack of tubes for just 2 connections both having 3 bends. I just could not get them to look clean. So I decided, to spend the extra mile for some additional fittings and I am glad I did. For me it was the only way to get a clean build, But I guess with more training in tube bending one could achieve this, too.

It's not rare to see users coming to the forum to report fans with purple dots (dead green die) after 2 - 6 months of using white lighting, that's why i prefer to warn. reducing brightness will help run the leds cooler.

Overheating LEDS inside cooling fans.. shame 🙂
