The only 2 realistic ones out there is the Bitfenix Prodigy M and the Aerocool Dead Silence. Not sure whether the specific colour will be available in your country, so if it comes to worst, you may need a few cans of plasti-dip.

Bitfenix Prodigy M Orange Version is your only option I believe besides painting a case

I was looking at the Parvum Systems S2.0 as well

Would not go with a Parvum case as it's pretty much tailored around for watercooling and show pieces. Would rather stick to the 2 above choices.

oh yeah didnt even come to mind, do they even have a black and orange one? as heath said that is a watercooling made case, so Im not sure if air cooling compatibility is great (cpu cooler height for example) and if air cooling it would look good or not aestheticly

Go for Parvum.It looks uber awesome and it offers more customizability options than the Prodigy and DS, they can even do custom milled panels for you

It's not a bug, it's an undocumented feature!

Watercooling is a whole new story. I would pick the best cases for watercooling and forget the orange theme because besides the pavrum it simply does not exist. I would go for the Fractal design define arc mini, @ciobanulx has a great build watercooled in it, or the upcoming phanteks enthoo mini xl they both offer much more cooling options and more rad space, but if you like the pavrum s2 then I would go for that

Then it's pretty much up to you for your choice in this matter. I tend to avoid these kinds of cases as I have a serious case of (self diagnosed) OCD and when I see cables laying around, it annoys the hell out of me. The parvum, from what I heard, pretty much requires you to have custom cables otherwise there will be very little room for hiding those cables later on.

All wrong.

 

Get the Phanteks enthoo Mini XL when that comes out. It's solid black, but a few orange LED fans will fix that up nicely.

not as good as the Parvum

It's larger, skinnier, and has better airflow. If you read some of the reviews of the Parvum (as I was told to do by somebody else, because it is a nice looking case) it's noisy because of turbulence, and has bad airflow. It also has less room for water cooling as well (can't fit a triple 120 rad in there as far as I can see, without modding)

 

Edit: I myself do not care about noise, if you can hear some dinky 120mm fans over your sound system or headphones, your doing something wrong, but airflow is a big deal to me.

Understandable I guess. You have seen the new AIO water coolers from DEEPCOOL and Raijintek yes? they look so badass, and they are expandable, as well as cheap compared to some kits of equal size (at least as far as radiator sizes go)
