I have to say, I quite like the white case. Don't usually like white stuff.

Re: My awesome new rig
I see what you mean. But, if you are artistically inclined, you might look at that white side panel as a canvas...
I'd definitely go for the black though.

Re: My awesome new rig

Re: My awesome new rig
No, since when have you seen the stig in something with stupid wheels, daft sound system and a pointless body kit on it? ok apart from the modified Peugeot he was forced to drive one time
mmm, nice for 1.9K. I see now that there is an extreme 4 which also has the fancy color scheme going for R1.5K....forget the MSI now I shall put the asrock on my list

Re: My awesome new rig
The extreme 4 is pretty much the same just with less USB3, SATA3 and fan headers.
