I have now had my MSI 780 Lightnings for a week and am loving them.

The main thing that held me back and made me want the EVGA classified more was the colour scheme MSI chose - Yellow yuk!!! :(

Everything in my setup is based on Red. Well red, black and chrome.

Anyway, I could take the yellow no longer, so put my modding boots on today and here is the result :D

The yellow highlights on the card are painted on plastic apart from the yellow fan which is actual yellow.

I did not want to void the warranty, so rather than paint over with red, I used red electrical tape to cover the yellow. It does mean the fan is still yellow and maybe, one day, I will spray it red, but as the fan does not actually show when in the case, i left it alone.

Stunning build. The yellow fan would bother my ocd though, even if you technically cannot see it. Love the acrylic pipework though. Not something I have the patience to do, but does look amazing.
