I am going for a nzxt h440 case, but i dont know what colour i want. Should i go red/black with red led, or should i go white with white led?

I am putting mostly red components into the system, but on youtube, i havent seen a pretty red pc yet :/

I would go with the red/black version. It is cooler (in my opinion).

I think the red/black version is cool too, but what about the red led? for some reason, people make really bad builds with bad lighting on youtube with red builds.
Could i go for white led in a red case?

Well, I suppose that is a personal preference. If you want, go for it. I am getting this case in the future (hopefully) and I really enjoy the red/black color scheme. It seems more original. But once again that is just personal preference.

Yea, i used to be so sure about getting the red/black version, but after watching all these crap light builds, i am getting cold feet.

have the black and red, went with a phanteks cooler to get more red in there... only using white light.. giving a red/white/black scheme.. using the Avexir Core white lED ram, prefer the simple pattern to the crucial stuff, and the price over the corsair lite kits.

silverstone, nzxt and bitfenix all make braided cable kits as well.

i just have hesitation with white paint, it tends to fade/yellow... nzxt claims to have fixed it, but i've seen a newish phantom 410 and others go more of an eggshell...

posting a photo in a minute, not the best shot.

the case LED light on the back and the emblem on both is white, so i took that into consideration.

cooler comes in red, black, blue, white(ish) i believe.

Cool shots. So do you recommend white or red led in red case?

i'd lean towards white, only because the case lighting built in is all white (back of case, logo, power/hdd light.

thats partially why i went with white illuminated ram... totally depends on your own preference don't forget though.

just have to coordinate with the parts involved... cpu cooler (if illuminated, ram, any led fans, colors of components themselves)

I would also go with white. If you put red in there I think it would be just too much. Plus the case has the white NZXT Logo on the inside of it. I don't think you can change the color of that w/o modding it.

I do not look into modding it, since its gonna be my first build.

So white led would be good? Can you put a link with good white led that ships to more than its own country in europe?

Would a red led fan be bad in a white led case?

thanks :) 
I saw a pretty nice lit red rosewill case.
I think ill go for either white with red led fans, or just plain red :) 
Thanks for the help again!

my bad, tagged the wrong username above... and the alchemy ones can be a lot cleaner, as the nzxt ones take up a pci slot.

Yeah, I am really torn between the White NZXT case and the Red/Black one. A lot of components that I will be buying are Red, but I really like the sleekness of the white steel. Argh! It's so frustrating that I can't choose. I will probably end up buying the Red and Black one though.
