Share some ideas on anything.

 

I will be holding a poll on what the colour scheme will be from what i think sounds good but you can always throw in some ideas also!

Blue and white. No moar red... Unless you impress me with your ideas.

 

Maybe red and white. White and purple also looks good.

[M-ursu]

I would love to see black and white builds.

[pcexplosion]

Paint the thermal armor white!

[Drown]

Purple would be awesome, you rarely see that .. also, do you really need 14 fans?

Oh i should have listed that is what i plan to do!

[Bonsai99]

All dem fans...

Black/grey/silver/white would make it look clean, simplistic, sleek, and professional. Also, if you had an awesome camera to take nice quality pictures, this would be an awesome build log. I can't wait to see the final build!

ill revive that thread and change around the title (If i don't go for a grey colour shcheme) Later i rather not keep that thread alive until i do a build in it since it is for build logs not planning
