Well everyone i'm doing a build semi soon and the main thing i'm stumped on is a colour scheme.

 

I want something that you don't see everyday and that still be nice to look at. I'm going to custom paint almost everything so don't worry about  obscure colour combos.

 

Colours like white is a good base colour for everything so you could help that with your thought process.

 

 

 

So if you guys could help me pick or give me some ideas for a colour scheme that would be amazing. Thanks.

Yellow/White.

 

Avexir MPOWER RAM, MSI MPOWER Z87, Corsair AF120 LED White fans... Mmmmmmmmm.

 

No red, or blue for that matter. They are WAY too common.

My Pc: Cpu: I7 4790k @ 4,8 Ghz @1,25 volts, Motherboard: Maximus VII Formula, Graphicscard: 2x Titan X @1,4 at stock voltage (soon to be replaced), Ram: 32 gb Corsair Dominator Platinum 2133 Cl 9, SSD: 2x 850 Pro 1 Tb in Raid 0, 2x Samsung 840 Evo 1 tb raid 1,, PSU: Corsair HXi Series 1000W 80+ Platinum, Case: H440. Soon to be watercooled again, maybe, probably, the Titans are too loud.

Blue and white, mixed in with a black case is always my favorite theme, but it's down to you

If we're talking unconventional: brown/wooden + green

Assuming this is watercooled.

 

All black. Talking no labels, black fittings, black wires, everything black... with white coolant.

 

That's what I'm doing when I water cool my build. I dream of it at night.

white on orange / white on yellow hasn't really been done, so I'd do that

personally, I'd go white on orange or black on yellow, looks so baller if you have a sabertooth/Z87 formula and paint it ink jet black with pastel yellow coolant using acrylic tubing, just imagining it gives me shivers

And it would look even better with a Z87 MPOWER. Ooooooh, the possibilities.

If you're gonna custom paint everything, CADPAT is the way to go

Purple/Black/White, if you get a MPower motherboard you can take the MOSFET coolers off and paint them

 

And it would look even better with a Z87 MPOWER. Ooooooh, the possibilities.

I'm planning on painting the Z87 sabertooth, Do you think the Z87 MPOWER would look better? If i go the caselabs S5 then it will be the gryphon with thermal amour painted.
