I Just finished my first build and I am LOVING it. The gold and black aesthetic with no RGB is exactly what I was looking for. The only issue is with the glass on the case gets extremely dark and I cant see the components that lie within. Any light strips you guys would recommend I throw in the case to light everything up a little bit? (looking for a white or natural toned light strip)

i think theres a much bigger issue but i’d bet i dont need to say it before someone else mentions it
they also sell clear tint side panels…
also, whatever usb that is on the top, pop it into one of the rear ports.
Fine. I will do it.
Wtf, you installed the AIO the worst of any ways. Radiator chamber always above pump!

Well you wont be looking inside the case at all after the hype wears off.
Cheap solution: Keep a flashlight on your desk and use it when you want to peer inside your case!
Cheap solution #2: Ditch the glass panel and stretch clear plastic kitchen wrap over the case instead – make sure it’s very taut for that clean, non-wrinkled look!
You have your fans installed wrong way. Your rear fan is installed as intake and so are your top fans. Flip them so they exhaust hot air. Cant see how your front fans are installed but set them as intake.
Brother, fix your cpu cooler

There are several things that are wrong in this photo. The tinted side panel should be the least of your worries right now.

Looks pretty good to me and the tinted side panel window, gives the case an element of mystique that it seems to lack with it off.
Where’s the gold
PLEASE REVISE EVERYHING IN YOUR BUILD.
– THE AIO SETUP IS WRONG TURN IT UPSIDE DOWN AT LEAST OR MOUNT IT AT THE TOP.
– PLEASE TURN YOUR FANS 180 DEGREES AROUND. THIS IS A HOT AIR BALLOON WAITING TO POP. YOUR CURRENT SETUP IS SET AS INTAKE, BUT SHOULD BE BLOWING AIR OUT.
– YOUR SAG SCREW IS UPSIDE DOWN.
IF YOU NEED GUIDANCE LOOK AT JAYTWOCENTS FOR AIO AND AIR SETUP. CAN ALSO USE GAMERNEXUS / LTT.
I’m not here to help, I’m just sharing my appreciation for the Inspire card, It’s the best looking 50-series card imo.

I like the dark glass, because it hides my retarded cable management :>
Also, you probably wont be looking at your case after a few days anyway. You could maybe install some lights into it (white led strip?) to illuminate the inside a little bit.
Thankfully, graphics cards are not afraid of the dark.
There’s not issue with the tent at all. All you need to see is the temps and you can clearly see that through the temp. You have bigger issues to worry about but it looks like everyone in the comments is letting you know about it
which case is that?
can’t see
Honestly I think it looks nice. Why do you think its too dark? If you want to see more you can add a set of led lights on the inside
Then don’t
That’ll be five hundred dollars
Well yeah….if you have a tinted side panel…it’s going to darken anything behind it.
Oh wow.. I’m sure it’s already been mentioned but yeah, side panel is the least if your worries there
That’s not gold, that’s brown.

Same case same GPU, solved with subtle neon led
The glass side panel problem can be very easily fixed. Just place it down on the tile floor **gently**
You could just install some RGB and set it to white. White is a colour too.
M8 your radiator fans needs to be up from the cpu so it works as it should.
Let’s not address the elephant in the post. Nice wall… nice and neutral color, really calming.
maybe get a clear pannel?
