Second Reimagining
I recently decided to dust off my Anidees AI Crystal, which I've used back in 2015 to make a flashy "showcase build" and with the new world of RGB, try my hand at it, without spending an Overkill amount of money.
I modified the case to take a Phanteks vertical GPU bracket, which both helped fix the GPU's mounting pressure design flaw and cooling, and make the card look good.
I also took a jigsaw and removed a bunch of air inhibiting plastic and metal bits in the front, so there is negligible difference in air flow with the front panel off or on.
Most of the parts I already had, like the Swiftech 360mm AIO, PSU, etc. I upgraded the fans to all be the Deepcool CF series, and all 7 of them run off the motherboards ARGB header without issues.
All in all, it's been a fun project, and what I paid is much less than what the attached bill of materials is. I may upload more pictures with different lighting colors and effects if anyone is interested.
