Hardware sticker/vinyl recolouring

Tomh999 · 23 Jul 2010 at 12:05

Hi, I've noticed that some hardware you buy can have different colour stickers/vinyl, for example the Corsair HX650 sports a blue vinyl and ive seen a few recoloured ones floating around in red.
I was just wondering were people find these high res. vinyl's?
Im in need of the Corsair H50 sticker that's on top of the pump to recolour and the sticker on the side of DDR3 Dominator RAM.

AFAIK, it comes down to a little photoshop, and access to the right printer.

Reminds me of when I didn't like the orange logos or the exposed cabling at the end of the connectors on my Corsair TX 750w so I covered them in black insulating tape

I wanted an all blue/black theme and it looks great. I even took the colour of the gpus pcb into account lol However it is a 4870X2 so I can't escape the radeon logo along the edge. Nothing some black tape wont solve though!

lulz, im going for a black, red, with a hint of grey theme, luckly the 5850 im gettin is the ASUS card with the red top strip and black plastic cover

I think Im going to get the OCZ reaper ram, hoping the PCB isnt green though and its painted in black :cool:
