Well if you buy a black IO Shield, you will just have the silver one sitting around :)

idk , figured it might be a few bucks and to have the complete black look to go with the theme of the case. 

 

but yeah I guess It doesn't matter ._.

Edit: nvm. But lots of motherboards have different rear I/O so there won't be universal black ones. Just go with spraypaint. If you do a good job, you will be satisfied.

Fanboys, on both sides, are quite embarrassing. How can one be a "fan" of a company? A companies only goal is to make a profit off you. Instead of being a smart consumer and base your purchase decision on the best price / performance you choose to dick yourself over by only considering brand X. Idiotic loss to be honest.

You'll have a hard time finding motherboards with black IO shields. Even if, I wouldn'd choose my motherboard by  the IO shields color.

I'm not ._." , i just wanted to replace the one i'll get with a black one O-O 

 

but yeah just gonna leave it at that.

 

Not gonna do anything about it.

 

 

Thank you anyways guys :<

See my edit. But yea, spraypainting is pretty much the only option^^.I agree, black I/O panels would be nice.

That's the beauty of plastidip. You can always rip it off (relatively) easy, especially on even surfaces like a I/O shield (the more layers of paint you have, the easier it is to pull of due to the thickness of the material).

Oh that sucks. Are vinyl wraps available in your country? You could try it with that, but it will be pretty difficult with all the cutouts :/

You could make it look somewhat like this:

Or just spraypaint it with regular spraypaint suited for the material. That would be the easiest way, really^^ There are lots of guides on how to spraypaint properly, including one from LTT.

Funny enough that was my first choice - but they don't ship to Israel and there isn't any 3rd party stores.

 

It really did tickle my fancy when I saw it - but asides , I already purchased the cooler and it looks good enough ^.^
