What color case would look good with black on white keys?
« on: Sat, 24 May 2014, 19:41:52 »
Would white, black, or silver be best?

edit: alphas are black on white, mods are black on grey

Depends what color your mods are.

If you rockin black on white everything, I'd probably say black case.  If you got WoB mods, I'd say white or silver case.

You could go with any color you like really, but a light grey would look especially good.

The dark grey Photekq posted,  plus now that you've mentioned you have grey mods makes me lean again towards black.  Only because Dark Grey is not one of your choices.
