Hey guys I'm looking at building in the 380T and want to know is there a yellow ITX motherboard? If not could I some how paint a different coloured one to yellow without voiding the warranty? Now remember that I'm in Australia so my options aren't large and everything is expensive. So any help is appreciated.

Cheers :D

Helpful but I want to put a i7 4790K into the build so I need Z97

I would just get a black pcb board in any colour and paint the parts that are not yellow (a.k.a. Heatsinks) yellow with Plasti-dip. You can remove it, so it does not void warranty.

Then paint it. Not really another way. It will take warranty away, but it will look better.
