Yellow mATX Case

[chris_summers1994]

Hi, I am looking to a new build for when I go to university. For this reason I do not want anything too big and am looking at mATX sized cases and boards. I really like the Asrock Z87M OC Formula which is obviously yellow and thus I would like a case to match.

I am consider a custom watercooling loop for either just cpu or cpu and one gpu.

Planned specs so far,

CPU:- i5 4670k
Mobo:- Asrock Z87M OC Formula
RAM:- 2x4GB crucial balistix tactical yellow(1866MHz) + 2x4GB crucial balistix tactical grey/black(1866MHz) (if anyone knows of any other yellow ram sticks I would like to consider them)
SSD:- 2x 240GB Corsair Neutron gtx in raid 0 (possibly an HDD storage as well if there is room)
PSU:- Corsair TX650M
GPU:- GTX 770 msi lightening edition, (if water cooled then just a reference card)

Will probably use EK watercooling gear but that is all really dependent on the case at this point.

Thanks for your help in advance!

What about the fractal design arc mini r2 it's a great watercooling case
and it looks good. One question: does your case have to be yellow or just look
good and be watercooling friendly?

Corsair 350D, probably the best mATX case on the market.

It doesn't have to be yellow as i can just paint it, I would like the exterior to be black and yellow, obviously how good that looks though is going to base on how much work i put into it. I am honestly considering modding a white prodigy to make it matx and with a window and paint it in the same style as the other coloured ones.

I agree that the arc mini r2 is a very nice well built case but it is a bit plain for my tastes, similarly to the 350D.

thank you for replying

Avexir did some really nice yellow ram thats cheap as chips for its performance.

At Computex, Bitfenix showed a m-ATX Prodigy!

+9999999

this has got to be a serious contender

As far as I know, yellow cases do not exist. Let alone in an m-ATX form factor, so you'll have mod either way. A white case would be easiest to paint I guess.

+1 on waiting for the new Prodigy. Might be worth it.

Hi thanks for the responses, as i have already said whilst i agree that the 350d is quite possibly the best made and most functional case on the market it's styling i find a bit plain.

Thank you akzy that is everything i want in ram i think i will use it in my rig.

Also thanks to the orange one, i did not know of a new prodigy, do you know of any confirmed release dates or is it just prototype at this stage?

It's a protoype and it's not even finished yet. They're still working on the internals
