[Build] Shockblade Graphite #1

Hello everyone , I'm a 20 years old italian student and I'm here to show you my build

It all began when, during a game of League of Legends ( altough moba is not my favourite genre, I usually play fps games ) I was playing as Zed, suddendly the power button of my case inexplicably decided to auto destroy itself... to be honest I wasn't surprised, it was only "the last request for assisted suicide" of my case.

Hence the decision to buy a new case: The Corsair Graphite 600T White edition.

When I saw the white 600t and its black interior, I immediately thought back to the champion that I was playing in league of legends.
This champion has in fact one of my favorite skins (called shockblade). The skin in the game is black and white, and the animation of skills involves electric blue "lightnings".
From this I got the idea for the combination of colors White / Black / Blue.

So here's the "cover" for the thread :

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

[font=Impact]TO DO LIST :
~~Buy a cap to the tank that allows to fit a uv led~~
~~Move reservoir , pump and tubes next to 3,5" HDD bay (buying required items)~~
Finalize some details
~~Try lighting with blue neon~~
~~Realize a Sticker that represent the LoL champion I took inspiration from or something about LoL.~~

-I will "slowly" realize all the points , but actually I'm taking a break to enjoy the pc as it is.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________

It's nothing special really and it's also my first liquid cooled pc, but I'd like to know what people think of it anyway so feel free to express your criticism and your suggestions.
-I'm still working on this thread (and on the project itself)

P.S. As I said I'm Italian so please tell me if I made any mistake.

P.P.S. Imageshack put down some of the pics I uploaded so I decided to use the pics I Uploaded on Tom's HW and that's why the thumbnails are a bit larger than before.
