Customize Motherboard

You have not seen any RGB mice yet? You are sooo old-fashioned omg... Meet the latest masterpiece: the Corsair Scimitar! It has incredible RGB capabilities and I was even considering ascending from the previous model....

...only issue is, they apparently dropped saving macros to internal memory, so users can instead save their *color* profiles on that very same memory!! Wow, we see the priorities are set right for a gaming mouse - Well done Corsair! Now their 12 extra mmo buttons are completely bogus (without function) when not installing their *Windows only* and buggy device software on every PC where you want to use that mouse... plus reconfiguring every button plus DPI...
What an upgrade. Not to mention that their bugged software has issues with Steam etc...

Btw razer has a new RGB mouse too :P *facepalm* meet the next gen

Without voiding warranty that can be tricky. The only way I can see to do it is using vinyl/tape to wrap things like the PCIe slots, SATA ports etc. The problem with this is that you can't really use vinyl or tape on the heatsinks without compromising cooling. You could "stripe" the heatsinks in the desired colors with tape/vinyl and that should have minimal impact on cooling. Using a removable medium means you can take it all off if you need to RMA. Another method is using decorative plates made of say tin (from soup cans etc) and then painting those to match your theme then using double sided tape to adhere them where you want them, like the decorative plates on the heatsinks in the images you posted. Basically if you can think of a way to make it so you can restore the board to its factory state for RMA it should be fine.
