Finally decided on fans for the build! I'm going to try out the Thermaltake Riing Plus 12 RGB Tt Premium Edition 120mm's. I ordered 9 of them as you can only order them in 3-packs, but I may only use 7. There's one 360, and two 240 rads in the build, and I may do one of the 240's in push/pull (the one in the lower chamber), just depends on room down there.

I chose these ones because they have software control which is an obvious plus.

Good choice

Ok, so, I nabbed one of these Aorus SLI Bridge's with the hope that I could easily modify it in some way to add a new graphic. Turned out to be pretty easy and the steps are below, along with some crude phone pics (this is how I did it - there may be other techniques, these were just mine). I will return back to this little piece in the log once the shell is painted and the new graphic is laid on the acrylic, I'll include steps for that too...


Here's the original piece:




It has the Aorus logo I'll be replacing, as well as the orange painted stripes I'll be sanding off:




4 small Philips screws on the underside reveal 2 more screws to release the LED panel:






Once everything is unscrewed the little LED panel can be pulled through the little bracket that was held by the 2 screws:








Remove the small strip of vinyl around the edge and then use a small flathead to break the top acrylic piece loose, mask up the loose piece:






I then used some spray paint stripper and left it on for a few minutes and scraped off the old painted on logo:






Cleaning off took a little bit and I ended up using some 320 grit wet-sand paper in the edges. Once done it looked pretty great, and I used a dab of glue to remount the acrylic piece:




Now it's ready to lay a new logo on, which I'll be using my vinyl cutter for. The shell will also be getting painted along with other parts of the build. I removed the orange stripes on the shell with 320 grit wet-sand paper. Here it is all put back together, which I'll be taking apart in the near future and finishing it up:
