hey everybody, and I'm going back into water cooling here very shortly.
My beautiful and loving girlfriend is getting me a DFI t3eh9 and a core i5 750 for Christmas (I ordered them to get the deal but she's paying me back later on in December as my Christmas gift, but trust me I'm paying out just as much for her gifts if not more)...
Anywho, my origional intent was to go with a red, black and chromed theme, but now that the DFI board with orange accents has slipped into the picture, I am not sure if I want to go with the red tubing I had origionally planned. So help me pick tubing color!
Here is my color scheming information:
ATCS 840 black, no interior paint, maintaining stock alu look.
DFI t3eh9 board, which has orange accents on black.
Crucial Ballistix Tracer with red leds (red heatspreaders)
Gtx260, black and red.
Rest of the stuff will be black.
So, here are what I'm considering:
sticking with the red idea, and hiding the orange, buying red tubing, and white led fans (xigmatek dark knight fans), or buying black tubing and getting digmatek orange fans. Either way, I think it'll look good, but I am wondering if maintaing that extra hint of red might help.
Ideas, thoughts?
By the way, water loop is as follows:
Apogee GTZ, MR320QP, MCP355 with custom top, micro res (swiftech).
So yeah, help me out with the last 2 things here. I gotta make the board work and look good.
Dimm slots look close enough to red to work. The PCI-E slots will almost all be hidden. So I think I might just carry on with red, but what do you think?
