My new light pollution machine is done!

I’ve a few minor adjustments to make but for the most part my new PC build is done!

This is definitely the most fans I’ve ever dealt with 13 in total (1x rear exhaust, 3x radiator, 3x bottom intake, 3x vertical chamber intake, and 3x intake fans in the back chamber). The three in the back chamber are not ARGB.

Admittedly it’s a lot of ARGB but once the system is fully operational I plan on turning down the intensity of the light pollution machine I have created. There is an ARGB hub that I’ve wired to a front panel button that cycles through some pre programmed light settings when pressed. There are some really cool effects but it's just random chaos still as I have yet to install the ARGB customization software. I don't even have the OS installed yet lol. I've got 10 and 11 pro keys but I'm not ready to say goodbye to 10 just yet.

A few notes about the all-ASUS-TUF build:

This was actually a pretty challenging build and definitely the most fans I’ve ever dealt with 13 in total (1x rear exhaust, 3x radiator, 3x bottom intake, 3x vertical chamber intake, and 3x intake fans on the backside). I could prolly get away with air cooling the Ryzen 7 9800x3d with this configuration lol. I’m not happy with how stretched the AIO lines are and one of my fans on the bottom (TR120) needs to be rotated 90 degrees. Originally I built it using Asus TUF TF120 fans for the bottom and vertical intake. After installing them I couldn't get over having the back side of the fan facing forward so I swapped them with reverse blade fans. Since the TF120s do not have any RGB on the sides I didn't take into consideration that the TR120 reverse blade fans do AND they are not the same on all 4 sides. The sheer volume of wiring involved with this case has actually made me considering doing a full custom loop for the CPU/GPU for the first time in like a decade. I hate doing custom loops! I hate it so much!!! I love how pretty they look but damn them to hell when it's time to clean your computer!!!

Main takeaways:
Next time I build a PC I am making the use of UNI FAN and/or daisy chain fan configurations mandatory.
Order the small parts FIRST.
The build is never really "done."
