White & Black build with painted parts

I finished my white themed build! I painted the motherboard with white plastidip. I was going to paint the GPUs too, but decided that some black would look better. I bought everything from NCIX and Memory Express and price matched everything because I hate shipping sensitive parts. The cables took the longest time to arrive. I was originally planning to sleeve my own cables, but I checked every computer shop and nobody had any cable sleeves, so I had to buy pre-sleeved ones from corsair. Sucks living in Canada sometimes.

 

This build was inspired by the Asus Sabertooth Mark S (http://rog.asus.com/384782014/asus-tuf-motherboards/overview-unboxing-tuf-sabertooth-z97-mark-s/). When I started this build, that motherboard was still only a picture on the Asus twitter. Even though it is going to be released soon, I wouldn't buy it because its almost $200 more expensive than the Mark1.

I wasn't sure if i was going overboard with the white if i painted the graphics cards, so I decided not to. If a lot of you guys think I should paint the graphics cards too, I'll do it.

Looks amazing, but aren't the led strips a little too bright? It seems really bright in the picture, which seems blinding. Could be just the picture though.

But very nice paint job, loving the mobo armor.

The LEDs are very bright, but not to the point that they're blinding. It's probably just the picture. Thanks!

I'm starting to think that the h440 case is the only case they make anymore. Sigh.
