It's built and has just about everything installed now, ready to be mailed off. 
candymare chose a really good case; the cable management is on point. It looks super clean inside, even if that graphic card that's in there won't be staying in it... it's a really old, crappy card I got in 2015, not really good for much these days, but it's good enough for her to use in her old computer which she can still utilize as an emergency backup.
Yep, pink and blue LED exhaust fans in the top. Candy colors. Intentional. The only downside is the case didn't come in white... still looks Candymare ENOUGH. It's whisper quiet too. I just hope the gorillas at USPS don't field-goal this one like they did to the computer I sent to
sagestrike2 back in 2018 that they completely friggin DEMOLISHED. Just in case, I'm actually going to take out the graphic card entirely and ship it in the box ON TOP wrapped in newspaper just be to certain any potential damage is minimal. Going to write in big letters "FRAGILE--GLASS" all over the damn box and insure the FUCK out of it.

TAKE THE GRAPHICS CARD OUT FIRST!
For the love of god, take the graphics card out and have it in an anti-static bag, surrounded with padding. Then load the inside with padding.
I tried to send a computer to a friend, and I stuffed packing foam all inside the case. When he got it, the box was torn, the case was scratched, the graphics card's PCB was broken, the hard drive rails were shattered...
Do NOT trust any postal service in the world, except maybe in Japan (I have experience with that), when it comes to delivering an assembled computer.
As for my thoughts on the computer itself, firstly, congrats! It looks great! I hope that the Ryzen in it is sufficient for your needs. Those are really good processors :)
I prefer to put case-badges on the inside. Most of them look tacky in and of themselves, and it's hard to find a spot that makes a tower look like it belongs in a starship with those badges.
But smoked glass is great. That's the way to go if you're using anything but white light, imo.
And if you've got a 5.25" bay available and you want more variety in rgb, I strongly recommend dropping on an NZXT Hue. It's basic RGB, but it's perfectly tasteful, and it lets you accent your case on a whim with simple physical control knobs. But if you want something better, go for the NZXT Hue 2. I haven't used it personally, but I think it's the same thing plus programmable LEDs.

The boxes that computer cases come in aren't meant for shipping a fully assembled computer. An assembled computer should be double boxed for shipping, at least if you want it to survive.
The place I work orders assembled computers from a local shop. They've taken to simply filling up the back of a truck and dropping them off instead of even trying to ship them. It saves everybody time/money by not having to deal with any delivery service.
