Funnily enough my brother also wants a orange build, but he aint getting it from me :P

 

edit - could you please do me a favour and see if the ring on the H75 is removable like the h105?

 

It is basically an instant buy if it is.

Dayum , wish i had a brother like you

 

Also orange theme , rare , interesting 

The deal on OCUK was insane and managed to find a good value for money case that has orange LED fans by default. And yes I agree it's rare, my rig is personally red themed. What colour is yours? :D

It looks like the H75 and h105 uses the same pump, so I gues you can change it.
