Orange NZXT Apollo + UV + Case Mods = Win?

[IceyApollo]

Hey everyone,

Here is is my NZXT build that I've been working on for quite some time.
I just finished the build...and my only planned mod left is to replace my crucial ballistix tracer ram with the new orange led models.

I definitely wanted an orange theme, and am extremely happy with the results! I went through a first phase of LED lighting where I loaded up the interior with red cathodes hoping for an orange look but it just didn't accomplish what I wanted...So I ripped them all out and put in the UV cathodes...All 7 of them lol.

I was kicking myself for not buying a modular power supply, as the Apollo doesn't have any wire management options, so instead of hiding it, I wrapped all the power cables with UV reactive coil. (Meant for liquid cooling tubes)

I haven't seen a whole lot of Apollo builds with these case mods.....Tell me what you think!

Wow nice case! Excellent mod planning and colour scheme. Never been a fan of the ultra flashy cases but this one is definitely an exception GREAT JOB!!!

Also using water cooling tubes for wire management routes is simply ingenious! (I think I might have to hijack that idea from you)
