Posted February 27, 2015 (This build will not be realised until summer) What I'm planing to do is a black and red color themed build. This means that I'll go for ROG. Everything placed in the Phanteks Enthoo Pro. What I don't like about this case is the fake brushed aluminum look. Because of this I'll paint the plastic parts until you can't see the riffles anymore. The case will be completly black but I'd like to change the white power and HDD activity LED color. Maybe I'll place red LED inside the case. The color of the fans is another problem, brown just looks wrong. What I'm thinking about is to paint the frame black and the blades red. The whole PC will be watercooled but I'll use the hybrid cooled hardware of ROG. Using acrylic tube with red fluid with red fittings will look good. So tell me what you think about this and if you want me to post the hardware specs, I'll do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 27, 2015 You can use some MSI parts too. They generally tend to be red and black (mostly their GPU's).

Posted February 27, 2015 Author summer? thats a while yet. couldn't you wait to start a thread? Hmm, maybe I'll start earlier, I'm a person which wants stuff done fast^^ The problem is that I work 9 hours a day and I'm just tired when I come home. The company I work in has taken half of my holiday because I was searching for an apprenticeship. Now I have one but I only have 6 days of holiday left, 2 days next week. I'll start to do some small things then. The good thing, I'm safing up alot of money per month. I already know that my mother won't understand why I have to change things at my PC all the time^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not an apprentice yet, now I'm doing an industrial placement until end of june. On august on I'm an apprentice with 5 weeks of holiday per year. They also pay good but I wont say how much I'll get . But when I'm a learned logistician, I'll earn good money . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
