Oh that'll be cool.

 

Heh a reference gtx 780/970/980/980ti would have been pretty cool here with the glowing green logo. Still looks good though.

 

Maybe turn that kingston drive around so you don't have the red clashing? Or have it behind the mobo tray?

I would've bought a reference for the second and traded my first gpu if it wasnt for the fact i got 3 waterblocks and 2 blackplates for 75$ for the asus ones :D

I have something coming up to fix that, either a laser cutted acrylic plate with a cool design on it or a custom sticker!

Looks good so far, love the sniper board

Thank you! They are the only proper Black / Green mobo's i found. They are really hard to find though,  especially the fully fledged sniper 5,i got mine for 250$, what a steal for a quality Quad-SLI board!

I have a something comming up for you guys next week! And soon after i will dremel out the 5.25" bay!!

This is a very sexy build. Glad to see something different than the cliche black/red builds.

Thanks alot i have to say red WAS my favorite coulour, until i decided to go triple monitor and change room. I decided to just paint my new  room in lime green to fit my blackwidow ultimate! Since then, my favorite coulour is green!

I think the problem with why we have so many red/black color schemes these days, is due to the motherboard manufacturers. ASUS ROG boards are red and black, Asrock's Fatality board is black/red, MSI's Gaming series boards, Gigabytes Z97X series, EVGA's FTW series boards, etc.

 

Outside of this color scheme, you have ASUS's black and gold color scheme. Asrocks Black and Blue color scheme, and MSI's Black/White color scheme. Asrock also has a Black/Yellow color scheme, but Gigabyte is the only one that seems to still offer a Black/Green color scheme. Brings me back to the LGA 775 days, lol.

 

I am happy to see people stray away from the obvious choices when it comes to color coordinated builds, which is why i truly like this build that you have done.

I totally agree, i dont see any reason for a non modder to go with anything else then red, mobo's are all red these days, almost every GPU are either black or red, corsair's AF and SP series fan have red rings, almost every manufacturer of ram, whether its G.skill, Corsair, Kingston or any other have black or red ram! Even SSD's are mostly black/red! Im so stoked to start modding the case, im taking measurement and planning right now while paint on a part is drying!

I am going to try and put on EKWB backplates on my 780's without the waterblocks!

UPDATE

That didnt work, the screw werent the same size as on the original backplate, and they screw the other way around.

So i decided to paint part of the GPU cooler, one in green and one in white, i really cant decide if i like it or nah, what do you guys think?

I like the green/white cooler. Fits in with the RAM. Would be cooler to have Tri-SLI so that you could make a third one black, match all your cabling!
