The Green Feed: A Journey Through PC Building and Customization

As I began my journey through building and customizing this PC, I knew that I wanted to create a unique and recognizable color scheme. The existing brand of my founders had green branding on an additional card, which I didn't want to change or modify for the sake of simplicity. Instead, I decided to stick with a black and green theme, as I believe it will be "super sexy" in the end.

The first step in achieving this aesthetic was installing a new cable kit, specifically the Keeble slating kit. This kit has made a significant difference in the overall appearance of the system, transforming an unattractive mess into a sleek and organized setup. The addition of this kit alone has elevated the build's design by significantly improving its visual appeal.

Next on my agenda was upgrading the air cooler to something with more flair. I opted for the Cryo Rig H7 Quad, which is a good performer for the price and will likely allow for higher overclocks than the existing cooler. This new cooler not only improves performance but also adds an attractive RGB lighting system, complete with three different RGB zones that can be controlled using NZXT Cam software.

In addition to these hardware upgrades, I decided to swap out the stock case fan for a more aesthetically pleasing option. The AR RGB 140 kit provided by Andrew includes two 140mm fans, but unfortunately, there's only room for one in this system. Nevertheless, having just one 140mm fan should be sufficient for exhaust purposes, given the presence of three 120mm fans at the front for intake and a closed shroud on the graphics card that directs hot air out of the back of the case.

Finally, I addressed the unsightly SATA 2 molex adapter that Andrew had installed. While there are some spare cables available, it's clear that this adapter is an eyesore that needs to be removed. Fortunately, there may be a similar cable with an all-black design or another solution in the works, and we'll need to see how things play out.

The End Result: A Dramatic Improvement

As I step back to admire my handiwork, it's clear that this PC has undergone a significant transformation. The black and green color scheme is indeed "super sexy," and the Keeble slating kit has greatly improved its overall appearance. The Cryo Rig H7 Quad cooler not only enhances performance but also adds an attractive touch with its RGB lighting system.

The AR RGB 140 kit fan swap has further refined the build's design, while the removal of the unsightly SATA 2 molex adapter ensures a cleaner and more modern aesthetic. This project serves as a testament to the fact that even small upgrades can make a significant difference in a PC's appearance.

A Word on Upgrading: Prioritizing Performance First

While it's tempting to focus solely on aesthetics when customizing a PC, I believe that performance should always be the primary concern. Before investing time and money into making your system look pretty, ensure that the hardware and specs are where you want them to be. Upgrades should be guided by performance goals rather than personal taste alone.

That being said, if you do have your priorities straight in terms of performance, then customizing your PC's appearance can be a fun and rewarding experience. With a little creativity and patience, it's possible to transform an unattractive system into something truly show-stopping.
