is complete!It is so named after the much sought and coveted deep UV purple coloured Siamese Fighting FishNow on with the build...As many of you already may know the Darkside UV LED colour is actually a much darker deep purple and less pink than seen in the pictures. I replaced the Silverstone supplied eye-aching blue-coloured power indicator LED with a Darkside 5mm UV LED.I just love the intense neon blue-green glow of the motherboard edge and other partsThe supplied USB 3.0 header cable was such a nightmare I finally just snipped it along with the unneeded audio header cables... I prefer the minimal look anyways and I have a handy little four port powered usb 3.0 hub I like to use. I replaced nearly 95% of all the silver coloured screws supplied by Silverstone with black ones and added some nice black thumb screws to make taking the cover on/off easier... I just couldn't find black-coloured fan bolts/screws that secure the Noctua to the fan bracket right above the CPU/Motherboard :-( and yes, that is a 25 mm thick case fan I squeezed in there!The little engine that could... the tiny Thermaltake Engine 27 is working extraordinarily well though I am only using it with a Skylake Pentium at the moment... waiting for Kaby Lake. The Engine 27 is more noisy than my Cryorig C7, though not dramatically so. It has an interesting low machine-like hum that up until now has not been distracting to me... at least thus far. I had anticipated a more buzzing-like and/or grating-like sound but instead it is producing more of a low humming, refrigerator compressor-like, report.HDPLEX 160W DC-ATX Direct-Plug with HDPLEX 80W Internal AC-DC AdapterI have the CPU Cooler (Engine 27) and Case Fans (Two Noiseblocker 80 mm and Noctua 120mm) set at the lowest settings ('SILENT' mode) via the Gigabyte M/B bios... minimum and maximum temperatures noted for the past week plus as follows (my system is on 24/7):CPU: 26 | 45 CCase: 24 | 33 CSSD: 25 | 35 CM2 SSD: 38 | 55 C
