Bardo has a dual meaning of being both the intermediate realm between lives in Tibetan Buddhism as well as a small alpine town in Italy called Bardonecchia close to where my wife grew up. Both are transcendent in their own way. It's also the name of my dog.

This was not an entirely new build, only recently purchased the CPU and Mobo and decided to replace my old case in the process of upgrading. Despite being just a little too big for my tastes, the NZXT H7 Flow is a phenomenal case. I do wish the H5 had more space for SSDs, as I think it would have been perfect, but overall I'm very happy with the H7. Cable management is pure bliss. I love the minimalistic and logical design of the thing. Can't recommend it enough.

For RGB, I have Corsair's LED strips along with the LL120 Fans. The strips are connected to the Lighting Node Pro, along with the RGB Hub, which powers the fans. I control everything through iCue. It is a little sketchy. I'm actually replacing the RGB Hub because one of the connections doesn't seem to work properly. I wish I had went with NZXT's whole rgb set up instead, but I do like the look of the LL120 fans.
