Yes. Not really any pure black mobos that I'm interested in. Was hoping the red would get lost in the background.

Yes that is the idea. Another consideration would be purple, orange and black. Would have orange sleeving and tubing ( when I get my loop running). Then have purple led fans and some uv cathodes.

I guess my main question is with white shrink on orange sleeve. The contrast sounds nice and a little different but I can't quite picture it in my mind. I could just order it and see but coming from Germany that's a little pricey.

I don't think the colour scheme would work due to the red on the mobo. I have the same board and will be going for black sleeving with the odd red sleeve in the mix.

I hear ya. Just think black and red is a little overdone. Maybe I'll look for a different motherboard. Damn manufacturers and putting colors on their mobos.

Yeah 1155. My CPU will be a i7 3770k. There are some other options for mobos just not as fully featured.
