colours

[Froger]

Hi, I am going to build a water cooled system, but I don't know about what colours to use for the coolant, led's and cables and ram.
My motherboard has blue mosfet and PC slots with the rest of it black, I'm thinking of a black or white case.
7950 with a water block if I decide to put a water block on it.
Getting corsair vengeance ram. Undecided of the colour.
And silver water blocks.
So could someone give me idea's for colours and why.

Well in the end this all comes down to personal preference and taste I'd say, so nobody can make this decision for you.

Personally, I'm sort of apprehensive about coloured coolants, some of them have been known to develop problems, and the mess they make when spilled is a lot more annoying to clean up than non-coloured liquid in my experience.

If your M/B has blue/black, I might consider blue/black in general. White case could look good as well (so, white/blue/black overall) if done right.

I would definitely go with a GPU with a black PCB to match the M/B's PCB colour though.

as Alpenwasser says I would go for a GPU with a black PCB and maybe avoid coloured coolents (could always use coloured hose)

Black, blue and white go together well in my opinion or just black and blue.

You could always google image search some water cooled builds for inspiration
