I did think about different colors.. One is going to be white for sure.. If the other one isn't also white.. Then I thought about either black (might get lost on the black. board), grey, or an bright blue or orange (doesn't match anything but might stand out against the black and white. Still unsure on that..


Yeah the board and cards and ram and basically everything is pretty dark lol, yeah an accent color is an option, if you go that route may be worth painting the fans to match the color you chose, grey is a good neutral option which can work with the build, or maybe just go with pastel white in one and pure distilled in the other, in either case looking good and looking forward to seeing it all setup.

I think I want to go orange and black, kind of like the FrozenCPU Air 540.

If I wanted to stick with that color through the build I would get the Gigabyte GA-X99-SOC Force but I have had issues with Gigabyte motherboards in the past and want to avoid those issues if I can help it.
I wont lie though, it's a nice looking board.

And EK does make blocks for it.

Definitely looks sharp, but you have blocks from nateman so i dont see your point 
The classy without the heatsink is pretty plain so any color will work with black/white, i think you should use the standard PC color code, red=faster, blue=colder, because of science  lol

Lol yeah, but it's all I ever see is red and blue. Maybe a green every now and again.
I want to make something a little more unique.

Yeah I know the feeling, I do like how MSI is putting out some more yellow products, gigabyte has orange and green sometimes, but Red is everywhere and blue is also pretty bad, I went blue this time since my other one is red themed (AMD vs Intel/Nvidia), so basically colors that are available
White - Color 1; Pink - Possible; Red - Overdone; Orange - Possible; Yellow - Possible; Green - Possible; Blue - Possible; Purple - Possible; Black - Color 2;
If it was a more black build I would say try purple because that could be pretty sharp but with the more white theme green or orange are probably the one's that would work the best (my opinion at least), oh and gold/bronze/silver are also options, gold could work if its done well

I  haven't cleaned up the edges on the bottom there. But you get the idea :) I just unscrewed all the pieces and masked the top LED portion off. I think it turned out pretty cool.
