Altered your list a bit, I think it fits better.

 

 

Cool thanks bro i was gonna go that way anyway  :P im going to try to mount my rad under the plastic covering on the top of the 530 then mount 2 200mm fans in the case underneath it wish me luck  :).

Noooo, Define R4. jk

 

Try to keep your LED's white, it'll bring out the rest of your colours and looks pretty good with all colour schemes if you decide to change down the line. Also don't mix red and blue, you PC will look like an old gigabyte motherboard and nobody wants that.

Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof.

As I get older I get angrier more cynical, meaner. I feel some warning posts coming. I feel a ban coming. I was warned.

red, black and blue?

 

if using a black case (majority color) you'd use white accent lighting. using red LED

will dull/bleach the effects and the black will turn maroon/chocolate.

 

if using a light color case (white majority color) then use of colored LEDs can accent.

The case is red and the mobo is red and black the ram is red

white LED, the red on red will easily down highlight the internals.

over-run in one color will have bleed and no contrast or definition.

I would recomend against the phantom 410, or at least a shiny one, like dont get red.

I hate mine with a passion.

Feels really cheap and just wayyyyyy to  much plastic.

Im going to get the 530, it has less plastic (partially why im getting it). about 90 percent of the 530 is metal...on the otherhand about 60 percent of the 410 is plastic :P.
