    Pics:



















































    Cables may need a little bit of work.
    Sorry about crappy quality. The bad pics are because of:
    I had to switch my camera from it's native high quality res of 3072x2304 to 1600x1200 and I had to change picture quality to low + economy.
    It was also very hot and I didn't have too much patience. More pics of my whole setup will be coming soon


    Oh btw, forgot to mention that the fans that you see in the pic with the case and nothing in it have all been changed.

    Front Intake- Silent Yateloon 120mm DS12
    Rear Exhaust- Silent Arctic Fan 120mm
    Exhaust blowhole- Silent Arctic Fan 80mm

    The Scythe Ninja;s fan draws air from the front cooling off the chipset and the ram sinks, then the hot air is pulled directly from the heat sink by the rear exhaust.

    That's what I think. Do you guys think I should use the optional fan included with the P5k?

    it would help a bit.. but you probably dont need it..

    me thinks you should get 3 red cold cathodes, red uv sata cable and some Red uv lights... Black + Red = awesome.

    I went with a lot of blue last build, so yea I'm thinking red or a dark purple (UV) would do. I need to build up some funds for my cpu cooling/lights/extra case fans/ and GFX cooler.


    Thanks for all your help guys!

    Edit: Tbh, I didn't know they made red UV lights.....link please?

    I have tried many and I meen MANY red cold cathodes and have found all of them to either be orange or pink. If you want red you have to go with an LED.

    SO I would like a UV look but I would maybe like red too. Are there any UV red lights? I'm under the impression that all UVs are prupleish.

    The UV effect is kind of a gimmick. Most UV-reactive cables/fans etc. will glow under ample lighting, regardless of whether it is "UV" or not. At least, that's my experience.

    Maybe I should get LEDs instead? Those CCDs do look orangeish...


    Maybe I can try these? http://www.xoxide.com/redlazledlig.html

    Or these: http://www.svc.com/mdled5rd.html

    ...Or these: http://www.svc.com/lazerledred.html

    Or these: http://www.svc.com/mdled5uv.html

    SO it's possible to get the UV effect without UV lights? Can anyone vouch for this?

    THanks!

    What you need is luxeon.

    ...WHat I need is something easier to work with...and cheaper. I'm sure there is a good meteor/led/ccd that produces dark red?

    The only thing I have ever found that actually produces dark red besides luxeon, is 80mm xoxide aluminum fans. They however have since been discontinued. Don't worry I know how you feel I was in your position once, maybe you will get luckier then I did.
