I did the MSI project zero build in the MAG Pano. Not an Asus fan and also not sure if Asus did it first or they just took the idea off MSI, either way these builds are clean. I used a sapphire PURE 7800xt to finish it up. Turned out really nice but black might have done better. No matter you do in a white build, "all white" does not pan out. I did have to remove the red led plate from the PURE card. I still do not get why it has a red led plate in an all white gpu. Looks really good.

I love your reaction to the graphics card. I just got a rtx 4080 super aorus master myself, it has basically the same cooler and thus is as big as the biggest 4090 versions and it's insanely big. I had a 2070 super windforce before and that was already quite big but the 4080 I've is twice as thick, 7 cm longer and nearly 5 cm wider. It fills my be quiet 500dx case completely.

Asus should really sell a bundle with the case, motherboard and PSU with custom length cables for this specific bundle to make the back less bulgey overall. This kind of a setup would also be good for new builders too because it can be assembled standing up.
