I’m mostly done. As usual, dealing with the cables has been the worst part. I’d prefer rubber grommets to the awkward cable covers in the Phanteks P500A, but the case does have nice velcro tie-downs, a decent amount of space behind the motherboard, and the shroud over the power supply helps hide the mess.
The stock fans on the case are too loud and the RGB cables can’t reach the motherboard, which is just as well because I’ve decided to try to keep the lighting more tasteful than a box full of bright fans. The LEDs on the ram, thin strip on the power supply shroud, and a top mounted LED strip should provide a nice subdued light once I tinker with it.
I have to install the remaining drives and move my data. I’ve ordered a Noctua NF-A14 PWM chromax for the rear exhaust. If I like it, I’ll order three more to replace the stock fans.
