Doing a mobo/cpu/RAM upgrade here in the next week, and (have nearly almost) decided to put it in the In Win 904 PLUS. Would love to hear from anyone who has experience with this case or its little brother, the mITX In Win 901, or anyone with suggestions for helping me take cable management/lighting/cooling to the next level. Both side panels are smoked tempered glass, so the guts will be on display nicely.

The only real thing I'll need to address is cooling, given that it's only got one intake (140mm) and one exhaust (90mm). Putting an i5-6500 and r9-280x, so it's not going to be a huge deal, but still. Anyone have suggestions for fans for these? No real budget--would like them to push a decent amount of air and be quiet.

Would it be at all possible to turn one of those hot-swap 3.5inch bays up top into a front-to-back fan chassis? I'll be using two of them only, and putting my SSDs down below in the 2.5inch mounts. Seems like a primo spot to take all that intake air from directly below and push it across the CPU to the 90mm exhaust fan. Is there anyone that sells 3.5inch bay cradles for 90mm fans or something?

What about cable management/lighting? Want to try white LED this time, so figured something like some DeepCool RGB LEDs or similar, perhaps some braided/lighted SATA power cables.

Obviously I don't want to go overboard and make it look gaudy. Suggestions?
