green z97 mobo

so, i am planning on doing a build around christmas time. and my color scheme will be green black (i will be doing a custom loop later on). and unfortunately i cannot find any mobos with green accents . so, can somebody tell me a mobo that will be easy to mod and add green to it? for example a mobo that i can remove the vrm and chipset heatsinks easily , paint them, and then put them back on. any reply would be greatly appreciated.:)

thanks for your reply but i already knew about that mobo. i dont want to go with a z87 because i know that some people bought a z87 mobo and came without the bios update that supports the haswell refresh, so they had to buy a haswell cpu to update the bios:/ plus the dont sell the G1.Sniper 5 at my country anymore,

Oh okay. Well if you have access to something like the Plasti-dip Blaze that Linus used to paint his 290 then you could just mask off the area around the mobo heatsinks and paint them.
