How can I make my PC more unique for very cheap or even free?

[Aztec]

Hey, I've owned this PC for about nearly 1 year now and I was just thinking it kinda looks like your typical "gamer PC" these days. What Can i do to make it look more unique and personal? Could be something a simple a moving the light strips or whatever. Thanks! (please excuse the not so great photos)

***Specs for those interested***

AMD Ryzen 3 1300

16GB DDR4 G-Skill RAM

Nvidia GTX 1070 (black back plate)

MSI X370 Gaming Plus motherboard

2X 1tb ssds (One Samsung and other Corsair)

Corsair H55 cooler

Paint the case or the hardware inside.

Your pc looks simple and neat already. If you wanna add something personal, you could use a little personal logo you can design yourself and stick it to the bottom right of the front or the side tempered panel. Nothing too flashy or complicated.

Sadly every gaming computer these days are exactly the same and that's why yours don't feel that personal.

 

These days there's always a window case, RGB, flashy LED's.. Or the more gaming like computer cases, sharp edges, aggressive design.

 

Then there's the gaming PC covered in stickers, that usually end up looking horrible..

 

The problem is that just.. Everything is RGB.. Flashy, gamery these days. It's one of the reasons I sold my LED disco gaming rig and just got a pre-built Dell in a fancy business type looking case.

 

Just keep your computer neat and clean, it's custom built so it's already personal.

 

Think of it as a car, you've made some changes and made it good. Don't overkill it with spoilers, stickers, neon lights, tacky chrome parts etc..

 

Don't become a PC ricer!

Thanks, I'm thinking of putting 1 of the RGB fans for the rear fan. Not trying to go over the top or anything and might make it more simple in terms of colour.

Thanks! That sounds like a good idea I might look into that but won't go over the top or anything. going top try and keep it on the simple side. Might even get one of those stickers that's kinda see through in a way. hopefully makes sense haha.

Yeah the quickest and cheapest would be decals of some sort, look online you can probably find a service for creating a vinyl decal or even something pre-made that would suite your needs

You can always do a custom graphic for one of your favorite games or characters. For example my work in progress is my P400 Mass effect theme case. My wife just finished the front panel. Next is the side panels then the inside of the case.
