Hi, I'm wondering which build themes are the most appealing. I am thinking about either doing a Black & Red build (Mainly black) (This would work well with the monitor I'm choosing), a completely white build with rgb's (Using enthoo luxe, mainly every white part possible) (some black), or a black and white build, mainly black. What do you guys have and what looks the best? Thanks.

I'd say the mostly black and red one. With some red LEDs and gaming at night, it's 150% badass mode activated! Pick a case with a large clear side panel, doe.

I like White + Light blue, probably my favourite combo for computers.

Think the enthoo luxe black is good? Got any recommendations? 760T?

To me white and blue reminds me and looks like when blue mobo's were in style. 

I still have a blue mobo in my rig :D

 

And yeah, I like it very much.

Yea, loads of people love this thing, I like it a little, I've watched like 10 reviews of it, I dont know if I want a mid tower of full though, but I just wish they had actual white. I might go for the black one though.

Wow, never seen a psu mounted like that. Blowing air into the sidepanel lol.

It actually blows air into what used to be the 5.25 inch bay covers :)

You remove them? Get that handywork in. I honestly don't know why 5.25 bays'' exist.

Agreed so I turned them into a PSU mount point to achieve compactness while allowing for long GPUs.

Wow, what are the dimensions of that case?

14 inches long, 17 inches tall, 6 inches wide, supports GPUs up to 380mm long and full ATX mobos, but it's a tight fit for sure.

 

To put it into perspective, the Enthoo Evolv ITX is 9.1 in x 14.8 in x 15.6 in
