If you had to build an mATX system in a Corsair Obsidian 350D, what build ( motherboard, etc ) would you make and what fan/gpu configuration?

 

I'm going to get a 350D and a new PSU soon and a new mobo/CPU later but I can't decide on what color scheme

I love black and yellow, or black and orange.

I'm just configuring my brand new system in a 350D, and I've got the Maximus VII Gene and a 3690K, with an ASUS Direct CuII video card

so... red and black

Not so many color variations in matx :(

I'd definitely go with red/black with the msi z97m gaming. I love the looks of this mobo.

Dark colors. Dark LED blue. Dark LED red.

 

White LED only for builds that you want see details. One color only to make it "modern" and sleek. Just like chassis.

 

Tired of red builds with white LEDs :P

Basicly oversaturate everything with colored LEDs or even RGB.

I was thinking about a black and blue color scheme for my upcoming build, but I'm also considering Black/Red and Black/White ( a more darker theme in general ).

As black as you can with white details and white leds. Don't overdo it, keep it clean.

And when you are not using led strips? ( I don't want to ).

There is red and black, yellow and black, black and blue, black and gold and black and orange... If you meant cases then have a look at the Parvum Systems S2.0

Small things count. It will make a completely different look running a enclosed water cooling system from Corsair with the white Corsair logo on top of it. Telling you it'll look magical!

I'm talking about motheboards.

 

 

Half of them with fake ''black'' pcb.I've been there. I thought mine was black but it's not. Same with my gpu :P

They are not nice looking anyways. The only 3 i like is the z97m oc formula(yellow/black), the z97m gaming and the gene.(black/red)

switch the mobo to an the msi z97m gaiming, it looks way nicer and has almost the same functionasllity, also if you're getting an asus direct cu2 card don't get an r9 290 (x) because they have cooling problems

Was thinking about a Z97 Black/White grayish Gigabyte mobo with a 4690K, Corsair Veng Silver RAM and maybe af140 with white rings or any white/black fan.

So much choice, except for the mATX z97 boards.

by "configuring" I mean that it is sitting in front of me having it's OC validated

And I disagree, I like and prefer the look of ROG boards.
