Colour scheme decision time!

R4 is capable of 2 rads? Fits properly if you measure correctly etc..

I'm worried about clearance issues with the Mpowers tall heatsinks though :\
Woud rather grab that Arc Midi R2 as the rad is located more towards the left. Other than that they're pretty much the same chassis but the R4 has a door. Both look amazing but I don't need a silent case, I prefer good airflow to cool 2 GPUs

R4 has good cooling, i do not understand why people bash on it for bad cooling just because its a "silent" case. You can always drill 4 holes anyway, but heres this link to get an idea of how the r4 handles a rad in the roof, http://www.swiftech.com/h220.aspx
Just keep scrolling down till you find it

I'm not bashing it at all, just saying that I'm worried about the clearance with the MPower's tall heatsink and that I'd prefer the Arc Midi R2

Think I like the looks better as well, only thing that I hate about FD cases is that the rear casefeet are so much smaller than the front ones ._.

 

[NeverBackDown]

I was never much of a fan of cases that had grills so thats why i guess you could say i'm biased towards an R4, but its a high quality case so i guess its ok to be biased

 

[Feronix]

Well, I see where your coming from and I do really like the R4 don't get me wrong. It looks really nice and clean

I personally don't mind mesh though, it increases airflow. However, there is a difference between tacky looking cases with mesh everywhere and cases like the Arc Midi. It still looks extremely clean, and other than the outside looks, the difference with the R4 is actually really small. Only advantage that the Midi has IMO is that the rad space in the roof is off-centre

 

[NeverBackDown]

I agree with your mesh statement and ya the difference is minimal but 4 holes of drilling won't kill ya

Indeed Black & White and Black & Green are original themes, no one has ever done that before.

 

[Feronix]

Done some quick mock-ups! What do you guys think?
The green on the GPUs seems a bit off but I blame PhotoBucket for that...

I quite like the last one! But I still want to hear your opinions!

 

[NeverBackDown]

Maybe green cables and white gpus and mobo?

 

[Feronix]

I'm buying the white cable set that Corsair made for their ax850/750/650 PSUs. Braiding my own cables is too much of a hassle as I can't buy any of the tools in my own country

However, do remember that there will be a lot more white accents than shown in the last picture. The PCI brackets are white (I might also paint the GPU brackets), the rear fan is white, the fans in the top will be white (Swiftech H220) and the RAM will be black with some white accents on it

Also just realised how I forgot the 8-pin CPU connector, but that would be white as well

 

[NeverBackDown]

More green!!!!!!

I think you should go with all black with a hint of grey, make it look super stealth.

I Agree with that, my upcoming build X-1996 will be Black & Grey too. ^_^

 

[AverageNinja]

I voted all black with a little grey

 

[Feronix]

Hehe thanks, didn't realise that people were still voting. Maybe I should change my siggy

But thanks for voting everyone! Seems like Black & White is the overall winner! I like the idea of a stealthy build with white bits to break it up

Mods can close the poll please

I said white lotus... Because i don't know what that is/looks like
