Hello everyone,

I have a dilemma. Lately I have thought about changing the original cables with colored extensions to balance out the colors of my new build. I got a black case, white mobo, grey and yellow backplate on my gpu, white top enermax fans and purple front and bottom asiahorse fans. What color should I get: white? Black and yellow? Something with purple? Or should I just stick with Black?

I have also a NZXT HUE coming soon.

Do you think making a psu cover to hide the bottom cables would balance the build better than extension cables?

Also, is it better to buy pre-made extensions? I read on a forum that you can make them yourself too somehow?

I have also included some pics!

my opinion white cables

yes i would make a psu cover

pre made extensions are cheap enough that i wouldnt go to the bother of trying to do them yourself

and you should be able to embed your images here its a bit of a pain having to open all the links

Thanks alot mcnumpty23 for the feedback!

I have been thinking white too would be a good choice but again I wasn't sure.

I will see if anyone else replies with feedback.

But I plans on making a psu cover sometime soon. I'll try to upload the pics.
 
oh and i just did extensions in mine

like i said cheap enough

the 24 pin--which uses the most cables obviously was only £7 the others cheaper

i got phanteks extensions

highly recommend them

they dont even use heatshrink the sleeving carries right on into the connector

looks much better with no heatshrink i think
 
That sounds great. Good to know that you had a good experience with Phanteks cables because I had read somewhere that threads come off when you try to plug the extensions.

 
Enermax vegas trio is a nice one too. Enermax vegas fans are not easy to come by no more seems like. I had to order mine from Germany.

USAFRet, black definitely fits all, but something inside me says I could make a different colored cable work too. I know it comes down to personal preference, but what is your take on white? Will it be too much with the Hue+?
 



SI so look forward to it. Thanks mcnumpty23!
