Anyone think pc parts can be pretty? I love my build, Its has an all black motherboard evga x58 sli Le. With ram that has black heat spreaders mushkin 1600 6gb ddr3. But part of the reason I actually chose this mobo cause I read it was thick and doesn't flex as I run a +4lb heatsink on my i7 920, its a TRUE copper in a vertical position (recommended to be used in horizontal only). I know athetics aren't anything. But really it did influence my build greatly. My current gpu which is not supposed to be my gpu is a XFX 9800gt with a black pcb (keeping with the theme.) It is low power and is intended instead to be for physx, I WANT THE DAMN GTX 380!!! Anyway, on my xfx 9800gt is another thermalright product to match my TRUE copper, its a v2 passively cooling it. I ve got red leds that reflect like crazy off the copper shine of these heatsinks thru the window of my case a silverstone TJ09. I just wish my wire management was alot better. My sound card I chose because I use headphones or two speakers only when gaming but its all black too, a xonar essence STX.
Does the look of parts ever influence your builds guys? I know performance is first. But these days we usually get one hell of a choice for every component. Which is why there's red gtx 280s and redline series ram. I don't know. Maybe I'm just an idiot for thinking looks DO matter.
