Posted November 28, 2014 Well, if a product costs a tiny bit more for a colour that matches my build I'll go for it but otherwise it's waste. capodacqua smoothpolished wiyat silverberry infrigidate racily inexhalable CPU: Intel i5 4570 | Cooler: Cooler Master TPC 812 | Motherboard: ASUS H87M-PRO | RAM: G.Skill 16GB (4x4GB) @ 1600MHZ | Storage: OCZ ARC 100 480GB, WD Caviar Black 2TB, Caviar Blue 1TB | GPU: Gigabyte GTX 970 | ODD: ASUS BC-12D2HT BR Reader | PSU: Cooler Master V650 | Display: LG IPS234 | Keyboard: Logitech G710+ | Mouse: Logitech G602 | Audio: Logitech Z506 & Audio Technica M50X | My machine: https://nz.pcpartpicker.com/b/JoJMy dream machine | Ski & Snowboard Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 28, 2014 This is subjective to each person. I, for instance, I'm going for a black and white themed build because that's what I want, but I don't think I've sacrificed performance in doing so. If it was the case that I was sacrificing performance for colour matching components then I'd obviously ignore the colour scheme and get what was the best value for money.

Posted November 28, 2014 Inside the case? No. I don't have a window and my pc idles around under the desk anyway. Plus: If I had the money to buy something because of it's color, I'd keep it and save up for a new graphics card or smth else. On the desk? Yes. I stick to a green/black theme for now. Maybe I'll buy rgb-peripherals some day and go full-rainbow, but not in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 3, 2014 I decide to finally colour match everything red black as primary and white as secondary as I'm a bit of a ska boy checkers in those colours seemed a good idea. The red is understated against the black and white and red LEDs and don't seem to kick out enough light, white LEDs are hard to get the right colour. I just wish I'd gone for my second option which was going to be called project skittles. So yes, colour matching does matter if you like to follow trends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 3, 2014 I'll give up on colour matching if it works out a lot cheaper, but I love everything being the same colour or scheme of colours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted December 3, 2014 Very important, even my desk and wall are painted to match my computer. Sadly a local computer company completely ruined it! Verything was black-blue. Now thanks to these stupid idiots(!) i have now a fippin ugly black-gold asus board. Looks disgusting, but there's nothing i can do about it... Yes i have considered painting it, but it's a bit too risky to paint the DDR slots, so i didn't do it... It's almost 1 year ago this happened, but the fury still isn't gone... It just looks terrible.

Posted December 3, 2014 For me no because I'm always on a budget and don't care about looks that much, I can go with a brown motherboard, green ram, red case, black PSU and still wouldn't matter for me as I will be looking at my monitor not my PC. ﷲ Muslim Member ﷲ KennyS and ScreaM are my role models in CSGO.

Posted December 15, 2014 It depends on what type of system I am going for. I've built several in the past that I wanted to look pretty as well as function well. My current system was built for moderate use and has moderate specs. I didn't feel the need to show it off as much as some of the past. My next one will be very well planned out though and most likely match in colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 15, 2014 I like the look of my system through the case window, but I'm gonna be honest, the giant cpu cooler does seem a bit out of place. Other than that I have a lot of blue leds and red cables, so I guess having matching colors doesn't really matter to me MY CURRENT PC CPU: Intel Core i7-4770k COOLER: Noctua NH-D14 MOBO: MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming ATX RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws 16GB DDR3-1600 STORAGE: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB SSD and Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200RPM HHD GPU: Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 SLI CASE: Fractal Design R4 PSU: EVGA 1000W 80+ Gold PERIPHERALS - KEYBOARD: Corsair Vengeance K70 w/ Cherry MX Browns MOUSE: Logitech G500/M100 MONITOR(S): Acer H236HLbid (I want an Asus PB278Q) SPEAKERS: Some Cyber Acoustics $10 speakers PICTURES AND FULL PARTS LIST @ PCPARTPICKER - http://pcpartpicker.com/b/z4Pscf "Don't get so caught up in trying to make a living that you forget to make a life."

Posted December 15, 2014 I'm about to start my first build. As of now, no, I don't care. Ask me in a few years when I have experience building computers, and I may be a bit more specific and picky about how good my rig looks. Edit: As a matter of fact, I think it would be cool to have completely different colors that don't match. Like a rainbow theme.

Posted December 17, 2014 No, since i don't have a windowed side panel i only care about the front panel, which is still pretty ghetto right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted December 17, 2014 Yes. I understand function over form, however if something doesn't look good then it's not going to keep me as happy as something that does. I'd rather have something that works amazingly and still looks great, with matching colours, than something that only works amazingly. What do they know of England, who only England know?

Posted December 17, 2014 To me, color matters a lot, to other people, probably not, but I really appreciate the aesthetic value of a well built pc, in fact I have just order some cables from lutro0 customs, to make them match my pc, which I am excited to see put in my new corsair 750D.
