Green motherboard with glass case

[Jerryyyz]

I got a pre built pc. As always pre built pc's have a cheap motherboard. Mine is green. So as I was searching for a new case for better air cooling, a glass case in this occasion, I realized I have an ugly green motherboard. I got really into glass cases so I am stuck into buying one. But at that moment came my realization that I had that kind of motherboard which got me big disappointed. So my game plan is:

A)Get a black motherboard at 100 euros or preferably less or more if it's worth the money

B)Ignore the green board( if somebody suggests this please post a picture so I can see how it will look)

 

Edit: Ok so I did a little bit more research and my motherboard probably is a micro atx(I am not so sure because of my pc layout its impossible to lay a finger on the motherboard, I measured it from a distance with my eye aligning the ruler. So I found the MSI B360M Bazooka as an affordable solution. Please tell me you thoughts

I have an i7 6700k and 32gb of ddr4 ram also bluetooth and wlan cards.

how do you do that?

It would require you to essentially make cutouts around components and areas to fit an acrylic cover over top of the motherboard. You can use standoffs to install it over top of the PCB. Another method is plasti-dipping the motherboard which can be done but I usually don't recommend.

Because I am really knew to pc modification I am really afraid to do that. Is it worth to buy the MSI B360 Bazooka? I just dont want to lose anything.

Buying a new board would be the easiest solution if you want it to aesthetically match. As for the MSI B360 pretty sure it won't work since it's only for 8 series processor, if someone could confirm that would be good. You will need the older Z170 or Z270 series espically if you plan to overclock.

I am not interested in overclocking. Will it look that bad with a green motherboard?

I just put green LEDs all over my case

 

a green board would match the theme perfectly lol

It's mainly an aesthetic choice so it's up to you if you would like that or want a board that matches your build's theme.

you can either embrace the green with green lights as proposed above, get a new b260 mobo (does not need to be itx, it will just depend on what case you want, atx, matx often run cheaper) and you may also want to sell your current mobo on ebay or locally (market for green pcb's is very low, and hopefully it isn't a very proprietary mobo. You can also paint the whole mobo with a non-conductive paint and cover all contacts. since it is an ITX board, you would get a itx case, and a big ass cooler like a drp3, I can't even see my motherboard with it.
