    You can always paint the cooler coloured accents if it's not an important area.

    Pics when it's finished.

    edit: Just seen pics of the cooler. Painting that would by tough lol. Can the lettering be removed? Maybe replace it for a Corsair cooler which iirc is black and grey.

      Unless you're gonna go to LAN parties to impress your boyfriends, what's the point of painting your insides? Waste of time and effort. Just turn it on and play.
