That is a lot of red you got going on there.

That is a lot of red you got going on there. 

 

That is / was a lot of RED going on in the Parvum build I done earlier in the year.

But it will all be changing with going into the Fractal Design Define S case. Brighten it up a bit with white.

Hence I'm not sure if I want to spend $350 AU on getting the ASUS Sabertooth Mark S board.

It might end up being to much White going on. Mostly black with White accents is what I'm leaning to.
