black PCB 10GbE Card

Does anyone know of a 10gb ethernet card that has black pcb so I can have beautiful networking with out making my computer ugly?

Sadly usually the 10Gb cards are meant for enteprise use where they could care less about how the card looks. But there's the red ASUS network card: https://www.asus.com/us/Networking/XG-C100C/

I tried finding them myself once and came up empty.

Looks like the shroud is black on this Gigabyte NIC, can't tell if the PCB is black or not however. It looks like it is but it could just be the lighting in the picture and it doesn't show the back of the card...

Yeah let me know if you come across anything like that I also have a color clash issue with the pcb in a black and blue environment.

 

I was hoping some motherboards world start coming with a sfp+ cage

Plastidip?

The Zenith comes w/ this card. I'll get the model when I get home. I think it's ROG Areion though. Not sure if they sell it separately. (The PCB is black).

It looks like startech has some as well but when you can do the whole sfp thing for $100 for both computers it really doesn't seem to make sense to keep the colors with the cost difference. Maybe Plastidip on just the top of the card would be worth a shot.
