I'm mainly posting this to get some suggestions on what I can do to further accessorize/mod my case. Everything is stock for now but I'd really like to step into modding on this build. Something I've been interested in doing is taking off the TUF plating on the motherboard to paint it white.. but I just don't know where to start. That's where I need you guys to give me some ideas and options.

Individually addressable RGB LED strips! I love them so much.

More cable management, maybe get some spiral wrap (this stuff. I've never used that seller or that brand of spiral wrap. Link is for informational purposes only and does not indicate a recommendation of that wrap or business), I really like how spiral wrap looks on things.

I've got some zip ties I'll probably use for now, I'm waiting for the CPU liquid cooler to get RMA'd.. noticed it was slightly leaking and losing cooling ability over the period of a week :/

I have done a couple of case builds with white 630 Phantoms and just purchased a 820 for a build I am going to start this week. My first build with a 630, I used plating to break up the white and hide some of the obnoxious holes in the case.



In a second build, I just got some plexiglass from a local home depot and used it to help break up the white and hide some of the cheap things about the case. Definitely one thing I would do with yours is move the radiator. It just doesn't belong there. If you look at the second picture you will see (this was not my build - the person who did this copied mine) the radiator is enclosed in a white box that has fans on both the top and bottom. This is a really slick way to fill up the big unused and wasted pace under you hard drives. Cleaning up you cables / wires would go a long way and finally, putting in some clear, red or blue fans will definitely help break up the white.

If you really want to get creative, contact NZXT and purchase some gun metal gray doors and top pieces. They sell them as replacements parts and they are relatively inexpensive. If you look at the second picture, it is actually a gray phantom case that the doors and top pieces were replaced from a white one. In these two pictures, your actually seeing two different cases, one white and one gray, where the parts were interchanged. These cases are so inexpensive, that using two cases to build one, is actually a viable alternative. I will post pictures when I get mine going this week. I bought a white and a black 820. It should really contrast nicely.
