Swiftech Komodo 7970 aesthetics issues

Does anyone have any photos or links of the Swiftech Komodo 7970 GPU block without the sticker on the front?

I would really like to use this block but i just can't get over how bad that sticker looks. Thanks

It looks like a sticker, I think you can see its edges.

If you take it off, there's a chance that it will look worse underneath. It'll probably look better though, you can always cover it up if it does.

There are some pretty good images showing it is a sticker here. Unfortunately it looks like it is recessed into the block. Suppose it wouldn't look too bad if you could swap it out with piece of brushed aluminum. *dribbles* http://forums.swiftech.org/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=1827&start=25

People have taken off the sticker before, from what I remember its just a black plastic shell (don't take my word for it). Just use isopropyl to get the sticker off. You may void the warranty.

Feel free to PM for any water-cooling questions. Check out my profile for more ways to contact me.

Everytime I see a swiftech block like this, it brings flashbacks to gameboy or nes controllers being ruined by those tacky stickers included with Nintendo Power.

you do realize that it will be pointed downward and therefore you will never see it right?

 

and if your response is I can see it if I look upward from below the case, then you need serious help lol

I think it looks great. I just think they could of spent a bit more time designing the sticker. Then again I am going off what the image can tell me, It might look decent in person. (will let you know when mine arrives) ;)
