Default Format a blank cell based on the value of another cell

I want to change the format of a blank cell (B2) when the value in another
cell (A2) equals X. I have tried to use conditioanal formating, but there
is a formula in cell A2 that creates the value X, and I cant seem to get
the right info into the conditional formatting in cell B2.

I have been able to accomplish this by creating conditional formatting in
cells A2, B1, C2, and B3 by putting a boarder adjacent to cell B2 based on
formulas I have created in eache of those cells, esentially putting a boarder
around cell B2. But I know there is an better, cleaner, and easier way.
