Actually I wanted a red computer at first, now I'm unsure. Rig here. Looks slightly
different now, but not much has changed. Should I have a red theme, or a yellow one?

If it's a red theme, should I spray my Fans red (if so, what spray?:confused:), or sell them
and buy some red ones (bear in mind that i'm low on funds)? The Phobya Nano-G
14 Silent Waterproof 1000rpm that Mrdbristol used in his Monolith build look great.

There's a tiny blue light underneath the RAM slots that's very annoying, which'll
need covering up, suggestions?

What about the Crossfire Bridge, is it safe to spray or use red marker on it?
I'd also like something to cover the blue writing on the psu, the white writing on
the H50 and the blue pci-e slot if that's at all possible.




If I go for a yellow build, then most of the above questions would fix my yellow
theme problems too! I'll be trying some cable-braiding for the first time as well,
but that should be easy.

Can the fans on my 5770's be taken off and sprayed (yellow)? If so, I'm guessing
that'll remove the thermal paste, would MX-3 be better than the 5770 stock?

Please note that I'll most likely have a window cut on the side-panel, not sure
wether it'd have acrylic or just a big hole - most likely acrylic (might be hard to
find good-looking yellow acrylic).

And if someone could trust me a website or shop that'd make me some stickers with my design on them, it'd be great!
 
Spraying plastic isn't the best idea in the world it would look rather nasty and cheap if you get what I mean.

It seems like you want every fine detail to be the same colour scheme which is a good thing and a bad thing at the same time. I would suggest selling things like fans and getting the correct colour. I wouldnt bother trying to spray or colour in things like the PSU but braiding the PSU cables would be cool.

Yellow would be nice but there isnt much things that are yellow most things are Blue, Black, Red and sometimes Green.
 
yellow and black is fairly unusual... could be interesting. There was a build log in the cases sub forum for a black/yellow antec skeleton, cba to find it atm, but it is there somehwere.

while I see you are just trying to be meticulous, are you sure you want to take out EVERY part which is not the right colour? I quite like the couple of green LEDs in my blue/black build.
 
What about the xfire bridge? It looks fugly. I can braid the cables which i think will make it look much better. I have no idea where I can find someone who'll make the stickers though :( would spraying the front and top of the case be a bad idea? I'm stuck for ideas on the blue pci-e slot, all help is much appreciated. I'd like a yellow theme because it's something different, and because I'm skintight! Lol

*edit* don't know why i wrote "skintight" i meant "skint"

Yellow electrical tape, yellow window... that will make it look like a smokers pc, don't do it..

If you want something yellow forget the window and get the case sprayed a nice bright yellow, anything else is going to look horrible, especially with the cable management in there.

Cases with out peen windows look better, FACT!
 
I thought it'd look nice after I sort out the cables, most of them can be put out-of-sight :(
Tbh the idea of yellow acrylic does seem a bit odd to me as well, though I thought a clear
window (or empty) would make it look good, with just a dab of yellow on the front/top of
the case.
 
Spraying fan blades would be a bit risky. Unless you can get a perfectly smooth finish, you could decrease the performance of the fan.
