So recently my perents got me a sound card for my birthday and it works great, soundblaster zx works amazingly well. However, one major issue still stands: it's red with red led's and it's in a (mostly) blue build. I plan on wrapping the led's in electrical tape but it's the shroud that I'm concerned about, do I use vynal, spray paint or plasti-dip to make it blue again? 20170122_173215.jpg20170122_173225.jpg

I don't see the point of painting a component to make it fit better with the "theme" of such a mess. My eye is drawn to the disgusting dust buildup before the soundcard.

Investing in an s340 before the end of the month! Blame most of the mess on that craptastic case.
