Hi,
I've been here for some time doing my best to answer some questions, but now is my time to ask you guys something that I recently took interest in - how to create a stylish PC. I know how to get a powerful PC and until recently I was all about performance and I paid 0 attention to looks, but now that I've seen some really beautiful PCs, I want to know how to make one.
To the point - I want to be able to know by what criteria to pick cases, coolers with lights and colours that are both effective and beautiful, as well as figure out how to get some of the custom emblems/PC paint (you could even call it tattoos) and fan grills. Nicely looking water cooling will also be appreciated.
Cases - I don't know anything about cases except the different ATXes and sizes of the tower as well as air flow, so as detailed description as you can spare will be much appreciated. Also, how do you distinguish a case that can be made more stylish easier than another? Any known case brands that make stylish cases? Please do give examples, as wide as variety as possible. I think the Aerocool Striker-X Advance looks pretty good, if you think that there are cases looking similarly good (not necessary the same way, they only have to be as cool looking), please share. This is also just a mid tower, I'd be happy if I can get from different types of towers.
Coolers and fan controllers - does this even need explanation?
I've seen great setups with coloured and lighted coolers that make a PC look brilliant. An example would be: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/b/fg3Ff7
The pictures of the build are great (I will also reuse it later as an example for emblems). If you know cooler brands that make stylised/customised coolers that are coloured and/or lighted, that'd be awesome. Examples will be much appreciated. As to fan controllers, I would like a complete description because I am still unsure of what they are supposed to do.
Custom emblems/PC "tattoos" - I am sure that you've seen some PCs that are beyond great yourselves, but I'll give an example: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/b/fg3Ff7 (this build's first picture as an example for a custom emblem /On a second thought, that could be a modified fan grill - what do you think?/ ). Unfortunately, I was unable to find a build with custom paint/writing on the case, but you probably know what I mean - are those types of things custom made and if so, how can I make some too? If not, where can I buy some?
Lighted/coloured water cooling - example: last two pictures of http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/b/MjkLrH (although the cooler/coolant is listed here). I heard that there are some pretty cool combination with diodes and the liquid tubes. What are the best water coolers, how to distinguish one and which ones currently look best?
Fan grills - Fan grills... are cool. Do you know where you an buy some or how to produce some?
Feel free to add anything, just please don't leave this thread unanswered after all the effort I put into writing it
Thank you very much for your time. Have a nice day.
