Extended answer about black tubing: Well, you do kinda have a "3-way color scheme" with black, white & crimson. One of the most important things is to never over-do a color, nor under-do one. With the black mounting.. things on the fans, it would look really good with something more .. black, like the tubing. On the other hand, please do not use crimson for the tubing/liquid frown.gif
Since both the case and the fans are crimson, it'll look overdone. White will look really sharp though.
(I'm not trying to tell you how to do stuff, just giving you my 2cents.gif)

I like the copper on the white rad, but I don't think it will fit with the rest of the colour scheme.

I would go for deep red depending on if it matches with the crimson fan blades in person.

That way you would have a white base with red / crimson accents - makes the colour stand out without being overpowering.

Sorry for being a nitpick, but if you are quoting a bunch of pics could you put them in spoiler tags?

The red does follow the theme. Gotta see the tubes/pipes first.

First of all.....WOW...I love your product photography shots.....I find it FANTASTIC that you take the time to take these pictures and posting them....asking us for our opinions on your gear. It really feels that we are right there building with you... well we all wish that we were there helping you sleeving and painting those 42 fans! rolleyes.gif But yeah....thank you for taking the time to do all that you do.

Now to answer your question.....You have no other choice, but to go with Deep Red with White tubing. thumb.gif


Cheers!

BP deep red or carbon black fittings. white tuning would look cool, but clear tubing with some white mayhems would look far better.
post #257 of 3267
I would say black ghost with white tubing. I think the black rings really bring out the black details. Kinda balances out all of the white and crimson. thumb.gif

It is a tough decision, bitspower makes some good looking fittings. I think my first choice would be carbon black. Tied in the second position deep red and chrome low profile.

So many tough decisions, LOL

The deep red looks really nice, but you need to add some sample tubing colors to the pics so we can get a better idea of the whole color scheme biggrin.gif. Using my imagination, I am thinking red fittings/ white tubing could look really good.

I've got some pictures of them, but first here is the final vote tally on fan color combinations:
Crimson blades on white frame - 12
White blades on crimson frame - 2
Crimson blades on crimson frame - 1
Black blades on white frame - 1
Black blades on crimson frame - 1
Crimson on white is what I'll do! I do truly appreciate everyone taking a look at the color combos with me. Now on to the FrozenCPU package:
Came in two boxes
400
400
42x Noiseblocker M12-S2 Fans
404
400
And these 4x little baby Noiseblocker fans. Cute as can be! Saw them over in asg's build log in this post, and just thought they looked sharp. The rating on these are less than 4 CFM. Ha! They won't move a lot of air, but I just think they are so darn cute! Make sure and check out what asg did with them.
400
and 4x 140mm Noiseblocker Black Silent Pro's
400
and one more Black-Ice SR1 radiator. This one is a 280, and will go in the rear of the pedestal. I love this shot. Make sure and click for larger view.
450
Well.....I've got some fans to paint! I'll document progress over the weekend, and I also want some help selecting fittings. I've got a handful that I will show you in some pictures tomorrow.

I am sorry but that has to be by far the most nutty thing I have ever seen and I do mean that with all my heart.lmaosmiley.gif
