Colour Scheme

[Dario_92]

So, I need to decide on a colour scheme so I can buy some braided cables and finish off my rig (for now) The only colour that is in my computer is blue (from the motherboard heatsink) and the colour of the noctua fans on my CPU cooler. The colours I was thinking of are Blue, White or Black unless someone else has a good idea on what colour to go ? Here is a pic of my rig here to give you an understanding. (the red fan in the pic wont be there when I buy the cables, ill buy another spectre 200mm fan)



Thanks, Dario.

Blue would be too much of a mix and match with the white and beige going on, to the point where a colour scheme is non-existent. White would make the beige look even more beige...

I think that black might be most subtle

After some thought I do agree, can you buy sleeved extensions for the front panel connectors such as the USB and stuff ?

Bottom of the list mate

It works out at about £93 for all the cables to be sleeved including the front audio, front usb, pwr button, reset button etc. Do you think it would be a difficult job for someone to sleeve their own cables, bearing in mind i haven't done anything of the sort before lol

That's a pretty penny '

From what I've heard sleeving isn't difficult at all, as long as you remember which cable is which. Very time consuming though...

 

[Dario_92]

Yep a bit steep :/ I do have an old power supply that I could practice on. either that or I could buy them over a period of time lol

Well, if I see it correctly, you're hiding your front I/O cables under your mobo pretty well, so you won't *need* those extensions for now. The 8pin + 24pin + GPU cables will do I guess

If you went for Black I wouldn't worry about the GPU considering they are already black, but maybe that's just me being a skinflint

Suppose, you wont really see the front panel connectors at all, i think im just being picky when i think about it lol 24 pin 8 pin and gpu is what ill go for.

Im gonna get the 24 pin and 8pin, they are too difficult to colour in as they are tight together and hard to get the pen between all the cables and since im getting them i may aswell chuck in the gpu cables

Had you ordered them yet?
If so, any pictures?
