Looking at doing some cablemods cables.  Trying to figure out a theme.  Here's some of the combos I came up with.  Since I have RGB lighting the theme might change so I'm hesitant to go with actual colors in them (originally thought  about blue to go with blue liquid in my loop I'm building, but am going clear for now).  Any thoughts on these?  Probably black aluminum combs on them.

    Cables are a Nice way to put the finishing touch on your Rig
     
    I prefer to do the Cables --> Last, if after the build is finished I want to Add some Pop to the build
     
    That way you have locked in all the other variables in your Rig
     
    --> short version, depends on your theme & what jumps out to you
     
    I like the EVGA monochrome cables

    Yeah I don't think I can use those as I went with a seasonic unit on the recommendation of actually many people here lol. I thought about a single color but was trying to avoid that since it's a bit boring.

    If you want to spend some moolah, you can get some crazy color combinations with modone cables.

    Also, try not going with things like white because they'll just get dirty naturally.  I personally like Black and Red well because that's my PC's theme.

    LOL I was trying to stay neutral so I could change the theme at will with lighting.  Oh, I did end up ordering last night finally.  Went with Cablemod because I had a 20% off coupon that came with my new motherboard.  Saved $42 off a $200ish cable set.  This is the set, a combo of white and carbon (shiny black) that is the PET material and not supposed to get dirty as quickly.  https://store.cablemod.com/configurator#cfgload:5d678e1e0f7945.61478042  I read also and talked to a few people that said the white actually picks up the lighting color and essentially sort of takes it on so I figured that would look good.  The cables will have silver combs which will tie in with the silver/nickel watercooling fittings that are going in and the motherboard has some silver accents.

    Very cool.  It should add a nice affect with the blacks and the RGBs!  
     
    About white cabling, I learned the hard way since my cables were PURE white from many years ago.  After a few years of use, some of them started to get dirty spots and sometimes if you tried cleaning them, they just smeared some more....   anyhow, never again.   
     
    I'll only stick with black from now on or possibly a slight mix of red in them if I upgrade the set I have which I'm pretty happy with. (Corsair's Black kit)

    Yeah I'm hoping the nylon/PET stuff won't have that problem.  That was probably the cotton paracord type sleeving that you had?  Just a guess.

    Yeah, it was a while back.  Close to 8 years ago or w/e they were using back than.  I think I got it from a modded place or one of those sites I can't remember as it wasn't a full PSU set and it wasn't cheap either.  heh
