It's good just get the cables managed and fix the tape around the heart to complete it .
BTW I assume your a girl because of the heart if not wtf why a heart? lol

I know it's your first build...However, the electrical tape is noticeable (in a bad way) , and your window is a heart (I hope your a girl)! lol... Secondly, little to no wire management. I would say keep your leds the same color...

3/10.

Good job vixstar. Still alot to work on though. Just get some trimming on that window cutout. I don't care if you're a man or woman, you want a heart on your side panel, you go for it lol.

Well my friend this has definitely progressed since the first time I saw it - I commend your perseverance. As afore mentioned, the electrical tape around the heart is baaad - to improve this, simply file gently around the heart shape to make sure it is smooth to the touch and flush. To make it balanced, add another screw to the plexi on the remaining side where there isn't one, and if you need to hold the plexi window in still, then add electrical tape to the inside window border.
Cable ties are also needed to tidy up those wires, and for aesthetic purposes again I would suggest red cathodes and red LED fans.
it is coming along nicely though - well done!
