Hey I'm building soon and I want to go for an all black color scheme. Any idea on how that will look?

I saw one in the show off your setup section of the forum at one point. He had an asus sabertooth motherboard with the thermal armour, in an R4 with an h220 and a reference Nvidia GPU. It looked alright, but I think it's best to have more than one colour. He should have had some red in there or something :P

Feel free to message me if you want to chat!

Give it some pizzaz and throw in some accents somewhere, all black is a little boring. Think of it as painting a room in a house, you have the main color and then the accented wall, it livens things up a little.
