Why?

 

You dont think it will look good with mayhems ice white?

Clear coolant is just easier. I would go with white tubing If you would buy more) and distilled water. But it is perfectly fine and would look better with mayhems

very nice setup. i think the white coolant would look way better. beside that is still the plan right?

I dream of 0s and 1s folding to my every command,

algorithms seeping from the back of my head when I need them.

When I look at your pictures , those empty tubings look awesome and so I presume that clear cooling would look the same. They look great with the metal on the GPU and on that custom cover for PSU you made, and I like that very much. They add a little mirror/glass effect

Ultimately, your rig your choice, mate. It will look great either way you go. Great build, man

Maybe its time for a case upgrade?... hmmm

 

YES!

 

I'm looking at Caselabs SMA8, and new watercooling possibilites(Acrylic,yes!)

I'm not sure about theme yet, but i'm looking into Red/Black any suggestions?

 

And these are the color variations of the case i have in mind:

 

 

Caselabs SMA8

 

Gunmetal Gray Outside

Black Inside

 

Black Outside

Black Inside

 

And fans.. Corsair SP/AF or Noiseblocker Blacksilent Pro?

Nice  :) 

if you're going black/red then black case makes the most sense to me

personally I LOVE the Noisblocker fans

Case ordered!

I must say its really burning in my wallet now. With taxes, this will cost me 850-900$ but i can't be arsed to have another case with bad build quality.

 

Also, i'm most likely going to be switching from i5 4670k, Sabertooth Z87, EVGA GTX770 to i7 4790k, Asus ROG board(Hero maybe?) and EVGA GTX980.
