You're not familiar with plasti-dip? Linus did several videos on it, and they feature it often when they need to colour-coordinate a build (Eg: Painting the RAM Heatsinks or a GPU shroud to match a theme).

 

It's basically rubber that you paint on, but once it dries, it's very easy to just peel off afterwards, so it won't harm the component. The downside is that it's pretty thick - much thicker than even multiple coats of paint will be, so you can't use it on everything.

Ah isn't it the stuff they used to paint linus' car?

 

I've a feeling painting over capacitors is not the most clever idea in the world

More like ugly as sin, just like red pcbs, it just make it look cheap.

Nah red and green PCB look terrible, but blue PCB is fine imo.

 

Especially darker blue PCB

 

How about white PCB? That'd be dope as fuck

 

Fun fact: I own 4 graphics cards, out of which one has black PCB, one blue, one red and one brown (the brown one with EVGA colored cooler looks pretty nice if I do say so myself)

To be honest, I don't know what they used to paint Linus' Car. @nicklmg, do you remember if that was regular paint, automotive paint, or plasti-dip? I had assumed it was regular cheapo paint.

 

Also, no, you never want to paint capacitors with any kind of paint, lol, that just sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

Jesus what is this horror

 

Clearly you should have gotten this case

 

Note: not actually a serious build (I hope not)

 

If asked to build a blue computer for VR I would build this.

Just my 2 cents, if you're debating the possibility of building a gaming PC, just go for it!  You'll be able to throw in all the goodies like 4K and VR, and you'll have a much more fulfilling experience.  Console gaming, especially nowadays, is only about exclusives.
