Which colour scheme do you prefer?

[T.R.]

Basically, I like black/white and white/black color scheme.

How many of you put manufacturer stickers on your cases?

Nothing. I don't like stickers.

Nice to see majority are on Black/Blue scheme. However, what do you do when you are too confused about which colour to pick because you like all of the colour schemes but have just one option to choose from?

But that does not mean it is easy to find. Most things I can find here are black+red or black+orange.

If there is no black+blue, buy a black+black. That is the only color scheme I really want.

Now an interesting off topic question: How many of you put manufacturer stickers on your cases?

I had a roommate that wanted every sticker he could get his hands on to put on his case. "Hey, are you going to use that Thermaltake sticker?" He'd load it up it was going to be showcased in 2fast2furious. I put a few on my case back in the day, but these days, I'd only consider it if it were a) fairly subtle and b) easily removed (and I suppose c) if I was a pretty big fan of the company)

For now it's black and blue...

My next lighting project will be RGB LEDs, perhaps with a white case.

Nice idea, but what would be your plan on motherboard? Won't it mess up the colour scheme?

It usually does, although a white mobo is a possibility - my main concern though is with LED fans, it's great to change your color scheme with a remote, but the LED fans won't match.

Ok, how about desoldering and soldering RGB LEDs on the LED fans?

Seems like you'd have to either set up resistors in-line to get the color you want or run all the wires to a RGB controller. It would allow for some nice customization, but would take a bit of work.
I think those LEDs are typically glued, but they might just be held in with friction.

No pain, no gain

Okay, I have this idea. How about Black//White//<other colours>? I mean, the build would be mostly in black, with more white accents and the rest with desired colours, like Red, Green, Blue, whatever. For example, black case, black motherboard with white accent and other hardwares having either black//white, white//xyz or black//xyz or wholly black, wholly white, or xyz? Will it match well?

If this is confusing to you, let's simplify it.
Black - case, motherboard, RAMs, GPU, PSU
White - AiO coldplate LED, RAM heatspreader (like the Dominator platinums), motherboard accent, GPU accent, coolant or tube (if custom loop)
XYZ - ambient lighting, fan LED, Case accent etc

Several years ago I liked a lot of blue. Had Gigabyte motherboards that were blue with blue LED fans, blue parts, and blue Cathoid lights.

I ended up getting real tired of everything coming out blue. Seemed like all the new products were frigging blue.

Now I prefer black/red combo. I am currently in the process of building a system that revolves around the black/red theme. I think its more devilish looking............

 

[Tonduluboy]

thinking of buying white MOBO n galax HOF white, BUT both very expensive !

I like green (avatar style), orange, purple with black

[Jetster]

Color is not something I consider when choosing parts. But it ended up black and red

coz most prefer black and red, from motherboard, vga card, sleeving

It is quite hard to picture a build of these tones in mind... :-/. Could you show few examples or something?

I guess sleeving are better kept black (or in my case, transparent, if it's possible, LOL) 'cause it looks kinda "too much" in my eyes!

 

[BarbaricSoul]

All black, no lights. I don't even like the blue led power indicator lights on my case. My computer is currently set up in my bedroom, and I like a completely dark room for sleeping. My current solution for that-

I mean: gree black, or orange black or purple black. NOT all mixed together

 

[TheDarkLord]

Black and Yellow looks pretty sweet

WOW! That is some build! :-O I may do something like that on my next build. Thanks for the idea!

 

[Deleted member 138597]

Say, it's Raystorm, right?

 

[No Nrg]

<---- I prefer Black/Red

 

[nexus_a]

IMO, red and yellow really stands out from black, while red is more good looking. Yellow makes the case look like a construction machine. I prefer the Thinkpad look i.e. mostly black, but just a little bit of red for contrast.
