Could've used some masking tape or further disassembly to not let the red paint bleed over to the black. But it look allright.

That looks baller. Did you paint them or something?

Yes, painted the plastic blue part and the backplate

Maybe that looks like it on the pictures but everything was taken apart

Looks good.

Full black with just the LEDs on the RAM and little accents on the mobo would have looked better imo though :V

Just removed the blue/yellow/red led's and applied new red led's to the little pcbc48947cf46544e59ac71f851ab6ee564.png

(as you can see on the picture there are missing 2 cables because i ripped them off but i fixed them ofcourse)

Wow, looks juicy! Was the plastic removable? How did you mask it?

Long time Linus fan with too many different forums to keep track of LTT's.
