Aurora ALX custom build

Hello,
I just recently took on building my own PC for the first time. I always wanted an Alienware for the love of their cases but the expense was to much. So I found myself a Aurora ALX case on ebay and bought it =) But, before I start buying my parts I was wondering if anyone who owns one ever updated theirs and/or had any issues? I'm also concerned with the lighting and active venting on how will they operate once i replace the mobo and MIO board and install a Corsair Digital Link since I plan on installing the H80 hydro cooler. Will this be compatible with the lights and venting in the case? Is there another way? I've read on other sites that its difficult once the mobo is replaced by another.

Thank you for your help in advance..

Only the MIO-Board can fully control the lights and louvers. If you want that functionality, you will have to re-integrate it and get the Command Center software running.

Over the years, people have replaced the MB, PS, Asetek OEM cooler, and other parts of the Aurora with varying degrees of success. I suggest you search the forum if no one answers you.

What exactly does re-integrate mean? Would I have to rewire it or solder anything? Also what is PS and the Asetek cooler? Fans or the vents?
