Hey guys,

Bout to order stuff for my new rig, but cannot decide what colour to theme it!

My main choices are: Paint interior of a70fb case black and use red coloured tubing. Or paint the interior red and use black tubing , or any other suggestions?

Motherboard will either end up being gigabyte extreme (yucky colours, but cheap second hand) or EVGA Sli LE (mmmmm blackkkkk )

What I really want is a damned bloodrage, but no stock anywhere in australia!

Opinions?

I'd go blue and black, but I'm biased because I love both and that's what I did


I always tend to say darker colors for the more hardcore systems (like, anything above a quad and if it involves liquid cooling or something awesome). For you, red and black would not be my first choice.

But hey, UV red is awesome

red tubing/coolant with black paint IMO. I hate black tubing. But then, it's your decision. Everyone has different favourite colours ;

I would say you should go with clear tubing and no dyes! Just put a couple cold cathode lights in your case and it will look like glowing crystal water! Mega dope!

Out of your choices I would say red interior with black tubing. Black sleeved tubing would look nice with a red interior. Plus black sleeved tubing looks fierce yet mysterious!

Blue tubing black interior? or other way round?

Oh btw anyone know how I can achieve red, apparently you normally get orange or pink??? red LEDS?

Blue tubing and black interior most definitely. Unless you go for a rich and deep and metallicy blue, but that'd be all up to everything else you add into the paint job there.

UV reactive stuff is how my buddy achieved his awesome red water cooling stuff. Don't skimp on lighting. Buy some UV reactive stuff, get some UV lighting. High quality
I'll ask my friend what kind of UV reactive liquid he got for his rig. Looks pretty awesome.

Oh well then I can't really help you out too much. All my friends went with clear tubing for their stuff mate.

Although they do make UV reactive tubing. Get some high powered red UV lights going on, and that UV reactive tubing should light up like a red Christmas tree like your case was full of the tide.

Although that is a theory



When all else fails, test everything.

i second the blue look (check my sig, i didnt paint my interior yet, but will ) but if ur really into red and black, you should definitely check out the evga classified boards, yeah they're expensive but one of the best overclockers out there. oh and i vote red tubing, black interior. though that bloodrage board does look sweet, i have heard problems with foxconn's sockets, research that before you buy.

Bloodrage has been well researched but can't get it anyways

Only problem I have with red tubing, black interior is it is way over done, thats why I was thinking red interior, or a colour or somethind, Oh god the choices!
