Description

Well this is my first pc build, calling it Snowfall (for obvious reasons)

When first building it(about a month ago) it took me 6 hours in total to put it together and install the needed software lmao. At that time I had a red and black Phanteks p300.

But today I finally (what I consider) finished it since it now has a white case to match my setup.

I'm gonna be upgrading my ram to 16gb once prices go down (hopefully)

(The led's on the fans look blue on camera but they're white)

another question: how do you control the rgb light strip thing? i might also get that case (i'm not trying to copy you, just want to know about the case(probably getting the black version))

Sorry for late reply, There is no rgb light strips on the case, the lighting you see is from the two fans that are shown on the list

And if you're talking about the strip of led lighting then theres a small button that controls the colours on the top of the case, it has basically every colour lol

Very nice build, love the clean feel of your set-up. How do you like the mouse mat? I've been back and forth on whether or not to pick it up on amazon.

Thanks, spent alot of time working on it

As for the mouse mat, Its great, It gets a bit dirty so I wash it once or twice a month. The only downside is that there are still a few wrinkles in it from packaging(Which might be a one time case) but I can live with it considering there's no other white mouse mat that's this cheap lol

How does the power supply perform? Seems promising

At first it was pretty good, After a few months though It started making a screechy/scratchy noise when under load. Which might just be the one I received and a one time case but ya never know
