Noctua based build

[dev893]

So the idea just hit me. I plan on upgrading my motherboard anyways to one that has 4dimms and rather than sell my old board why not do a brown and tan build? I mean I've never seen a brown and tan case so it would require custom painting but Noctua makes excellent products (from reviews that I have read) but it's hard to find parts that match them. I figured I have a brown mother board now and when I do eventually upgrade it I can keep it for a custom build and after my main rig is done I can get started on the Noctua color scheme build.  I'd like to know what you guys think about it. I don't have any internals planned out yet so no part list lol more focused on my main rig

I don't think a brown/tan build would look nice.

Noctuas look good when it's part of another solid color theme like black or white.

darn ok I will try and think of something else to use this board for when I do eventually upgrade lol I may just sell it idk

I agree with WoodenMarker, a whole build with the case and all would look weird.  

I think Noctuas look best in a build that is mostly black.

all builds become prettier with Noctua fans dont listen to these people

I was thinking complete custom I mean even the case paint all the accents brown and the rest tan

 build one out of wood panels maybe the floor panels

I was thinking maybe using leather or some thing like that for the brown (gluing it to the case where I want it) and painting the rest tan

[Rorgash]

i would probably do something like a retro wood panel TV maybe even worth buying one and gutting it, then cutting out the I/O ports hole and some fan placements, would be really cool

I live in a mobile home I don't have room for that lol

I've seen it. Although impressive I still think Noctua serves better as an accent to black or white.
