White is nice because it simply illuminates the PC without adding some goofy looking colored lights. I honestly don't like any lights in a PC at all unless they are white. I have a blue/black motherboard, white sleeved cables, and white/black fans. It's like modifying cars in my opinion. Cleaner is ALWAYS better.

Example: Clean amazing looking WRX:

Awful tacky ugly WRX:

Same applies to computers for me.
 
Tinyvoices - Haha xD Nice pictures. Yeah we'll see what I pick...red or white, but thats in the future so maybe I wont get LED's at all depending if...well, Let me first see how the PC will look first 😉 And have you posted pictures of your rig on here? If so, which page? If not, please do so. My examples are
Very sexy but a bit over the top

To be 100% honest those cars are amazing but I do not really like super cars at all. For a small portion of the money you can build a car to do everything the same or better than a super car. My wrx would roll on ANY sub $150k stock Porsche from 0-100mph all day.
 
Tiny voices - Yeah I still like SUPER CARS but I like the more "Affordable" Super cars like the BMW M6 although its not SUPER, I think, its still very very nice. Now My dad drives this https://www.google.ae/search?q=Prado&safe=off&espv=210&es_sm=93&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=sEH1Uo_vNO3n7AbHvYAo&ved=0CAkQ_AUoAQ&biw=1366&bih=667#q=Prado+2005&safe=off&tbm=isch&facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=BcLMOjn-tBRFEM%253A%3BVRwkzAmUOQZAQM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.kitaicars.com%252Fwp-content%252Fuploads%252F2012%252F10%252Fprado-2005-1.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.kitaicars.com%252Fcars%252Fprado-2005%252F%3B3264%3B1952

and my mom drives http://www.moibibiki.com/images/hummer-h3-black.jpg


But When we move back to the US and sell these two, I asked my dad if he'd get a sedan (For those of you who dont know, its a small car, a normal one, not an SUV) He said yes. He used to have a lexus . I think it was this (this was back in like 03) http://images.thecarconnection.com/med/2004-lexus-gs-300_100030585_m.jpg (Something like this, which was an AMAZING car at the time)

and when we moved to the UAE, HIS FRIEND SAID DONT GET A LEXUS, GET A DAMN SUV. I got so pissed at my dads friend....we could have had a nice sedan lexus ;-; Lol.
 
Dude for the price of an M6 you can build a car that is WAY faster. A buddy of mine has an E36 M3 with an LS7 swap that will roll on pretty much anything. Lol.

My dad used to own a turbo lexus is300 and many other modified cars before that. He got me into racing cars when I was little. I've been racing go-karts for like 10 years.
 
Lol, its like building computers but WAY more complicated and expensive. It's a fun hobby though, and you can always fix anything without having to pay someone to do it for you. You sort of have to have someone get you into it though. It's not really something you can just pick up one day. Lol.

I just like the idea of it all. In highschool I drove a 1998 Honda Prelude with a single gt28r turbo setup I bought out of a crashed SAAB 900 in a junkyard. For $7000 including the cost of the car, I was faster than any new Mustang or Camaro on the road. I pissed off alot of people with that car.
 
You're like the troll of all car builders xD Gettin' up beat up cars and making them fast xD I wont be surprised if I find you on the headlines "Man known to be Tiny voices on tomshardware finds an old junker and makes it faster than a Bugatti"

I lol'd so hard when you said"I pissed off alot of people with that car." Lmao
 
Well, I live in the United arab emirates so I see sports cars EVERYDAY. Today I saw 2 Maserati's, a rolls royce, An audi, RS6, A7....The other day my dad saw a buggati veryon with the licences plate 1111. Ill post a picture of it in a second then I gtg sleep.


and no, we dont see buggattis everyday...second time we ever saw one DRIVING. But we go to car shows every year
 


Lol, that would be me. Alot of people at my highschool were spoiled rich kids who got a mustang, camaro, bmw, mercedes for their 16th birthday. My car didn't look like junk, just a normal lowered Honda with some aftermarket wheels, but it was faster than anyone.

There are plenty of cars faster than a Bugatti. For example a company in Japan called Rocket Bunny built a 1992 Nissan 180sx with a GTR engine, completely stripped and caged interior, custom aero work to sustain stability at speeds and custom long ration transmission and went like 290mph. The total cost of the whole build was something only like $40,000USD.

I would rather own a car as fast as a Bugatti that is somewhat normal and special and custom, than an actual plain old Bugatti any day.

My dad goes on business to the UAE all the time and he always takes pictures of the neat cars he sees.
 
Ok, thats it, enough with you and your Building cars 😛 Just kidding, but not everyone builds cars or knows how too xD You have a gift bro...use it wisely....make me a car :3 😛 I gtg to bed...its 12:52 AM and Im tired...Ill leave you with this: If you can get a shell of a nice car, I dont know where or how but Im sure you can figure it out, build inside of it. Make it amazing for a good price but if its in the shell of a nice car....you're set. That would be amazing.

Dont know how or if its possible, but if you mange to so, that would be..just...'MURICA... *tears up a bit* add a 50cal in the back and make the exhaust pipe shoot at 50 freedoms( AKA cheeseburgers ) per second....and dont forget the electrical wheel chair so that when you leave the car you dont have to walk....THAT WAS SUCH AN AMERICAN PARAGRAPH....
 
Just for the other side of it all....Here is my Prelude after I rolled it:

That was due to driving too quickly on a wet road. No street racing or anything like that involved. Learned my lesson there. Drove my moms car until I left for college and then didn't drive at all really until I built my WRX and got back into street racing.

This is my friend's M3 that was hit by a drink driver on the highway, Rolled 5 times and he spent 2 months in the hospital.

Thanks man. He's fine now. His seat-belt saved his life no doubt. My prelude had a roll-bar and a 4-point harness so I was perfectly fine. No injuries at all.

My WRX also had a full cage and a 4-point harness as well. Street racing is just simple straight line 1/4 drag racing. Yes accidents can happen but we block off roads and make sure everything is as safe as possible. Cars have cages and harnesses and roads are checked and no traffic is anywhere close. It is nowhere near as dangerous as the media makes it seems.

Most of the "street racer killed mother of 3" news headlines are bullshit and street racing had nothing to do with it.
