The image I have shown is the case I'm picking up, with that blue front panel. I have some custom cables that also match the color of the front panel too. My main question is, should I paint the inside of the case white? This is mainly because my parts for the build aren't white. I'm not sure if all black parts against white would look good or not, since I'm kinda having trouble visualizing it in my head.

If your parts match the white and blue colour scheme then painting the inside white should look pretty nice.

no they're pretty neutral. The parts are black, thats the main reason I'm asking.

Also white interiors tend to go very well with subtle RGB, if that’s your thing.

My GPU, motherboard, and AIO have some subtle RGB, and the plan was to do some light coloring.

white interior would look sweet, paint whatever parts you can too if they arent white. black parts are fine against a white interior but white looks better

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

Provided its done to a high quality, I think painting the interior will look amazing

I planning to sand down the shroud and most of the interior lightly, then do some light coats of paint on everything. My dad is pretty good at spray painting so I'll probably get some help or some some practice runs to be safe. I'll probably paint the pcie slots, too.

You're right, most of the parts in my build aren't white sadly. There were no white versions either. I'll probably paint the outside of my radiator and the plastic perimeter around the rad fans. I might get the cablemod sleeves, blue or white I haven't decided. 

 

I'm not super comfortable with painting my GPU cooler though, thats for sure. If it was a reference card, I would since its just mostly solid plastic but I have a pretty expensive EVGA card and theres a lot that could be messed up in painting. Now that you've suggested it, i'll look around to see if theres people who have done it so I can help myself.
