Saw the PCI-E connector off a dead card, add some painters' tape?

This thread has really got me thinking about painting my 790i board.....
Think the spray paint that is used for plastics would work the best? I want a white motherboard!!!!
The maybe trace the points with a black marker....I already goofed the warranty on the board so.

I am trying to get that fresh murdermod look.
All I am going to paint is the slots white. Dont know about the whole motherboard.
Seems like as long as you mask and stick a dummy card in the slots you shouldn't have any problems.
So I went and bought the PALSTIC use spray paint last night.
White.
I am going to paint my 790i Ultra.
I don't know if I will paint the blocks yellow or purple or just white tho. Thinking about that one today.......
I have a stacker I want to paint it purple or yellow then it's eaither one of those colors that will be on the grill. Also painting the ocz phase that way to.....
I think purple and yellow grates would look better. I don't know about the board tho.......Purple and white? White and Yellow?

lol. Yeah.
Lets put it this way... my husband says that I should run around grunting like Tim Taylor and saying "More Power" like he does. It seems like most people on this forum are exactly like that.
Its not about the work, its about how cool it is and what it can do.
think resale value. Only people who don't mind potential fire hazards and your choice of colours will buy it from you if you ever decide to sell.
if you never sell that wouldn't be an issue though.
I just know I wouldn't pay you 12quid for a home painted 790i mobo, lol
VERY EASY TO REMOVE!!!!
Not sure maybe purple/Yellow tubes
A lot nicer than I expected!!!!
As you all know this board has been deep freeze ready. Had nail poish all over it...and de- electrical grease all over it. PLUS still had spots on it from when it had the major major leak on it and would not turn on for two weeks.....ALMOST DONE AFTER HOURS AND HOURS
I used a Zip-Tie and a paper towel to wipe the zip-tie on it. About to move to alcohol to get the last tid bits/ O man I didn't want to break one little chip and kill my board.....

Hey my board came down in price a little LOL
$329.99
Motherboard is going to be white(It's going to look sweet I already know). I don't know about the pci slots and stuff. I might just let them be....Don't know yet. I could just cut a pci-e video card bottom off and paint them one by one.
Sorry Camera Phone today.....

I've never thought painted motherboards look good. That being said, what I find interesting and visually appealing is building a motherboard cover, from which you cut the necessary slots and what not and paint that, as those should be smooth and flat.

Gigabyte EX58-UD3R | Core i7-920 (D0) | Stock HSF | G.Skill Sniper LV 4GB DDR3-1600 CL9 | Radeon HD 2600 Pro 512MB | WD Caviar 80GB IDE, 4TB x 2 (RAID5) | Corsair TX750 | XClio 188AF | Win 7 Pro x86-64
Dell Dimension 8400 | Pentium 4 530 HT (E0) | Stock HSF | 1.5GB DDR2-400 CL3 | GeForce 8800 GT 256MB | WD Caviar 160GB SATA | Stock PSU | (Broken) Stock Case | Win Vista HP x86
Little Dot DAC_I | Little Dot MK IV | Beyerdynamic DT-880 Premium (600 Ω) | TEAC AG-H300 MkIII | Polk Audio Monitor 5 Series 2's
A cover would be cool also.
IDK I have never seen motherboard spay painting before this thread.
I just did a 3ed coat and it's starting to look really slick and shinny.

Almost almost!!! Thinking about taking a permanent marker and color some of the chips red.
Or tapping around them and using the same paint as I am on the blocks.
LOL I wonder what the RMA department would say LOL.

lol if it doesn't work you should tape a video camera on it and rma it just we can see the look on their faces.
Good job, I'm am scared for you if you don't have a backup. But you could always hang it on your wall and frame it. Hopefully it will work fine though
Tell me a white motherboard is not the ?
Going to fix missing spots with white out.
It's not finished yet!

wow...
hahaha i wonder if this thing will even boot.
Who knows lol. I had to even scrape fingur nail poish off the damn board before this LOL. And all that black insulation crap...took forever. Used a zip-tie and a tooth pick to almost 1/2 section of the board....I'll post a pic of the back and you will know I'm talking about.

looks pretty cool, need some colour to contrast it with though i think. Be interesting to see what this does to your temperatures if it ever boots again

wow, I feel like I should do this to permafrost...... but I think that the RMA value of my board needs to be considered first.... this board has a 3 year warranty with DFI
omg need to see if this works..
Well I'm not turning it on been cleaning today....on here on and off LOL
Camera is dead so sorry bad cell phone pic.
Also I'm going to paint the block while it's off the board. Tonight I plan on doing that, and turning it on 2mrow.
Just a what it would look like now.
