Hello I am not sure if this is the correct section (or even the correct forums for that matter! If not, I apologize and please feel free to delete this post.) My question is more related to "modding (for the lack of a better term) my computer system.
My main color theme is black/ and red and I just got a new video card, an XFX DOUBLE Dissipation R9 (http://XFX DOUBLE Dissipation R9).

It seems like this year the designers opted for a more basic look but I really don't like the gray highlights (i.e. the stickers on the fans).
Take a look at one of last years models:

You can clearly see the darker black and red which, IMO, is a nice look.
I don't want to return this new card as it's a better card overall I was just wondering. Are there companies, websites, etc. that sell stickers that allow your to "MOD" your
video card so that it looks like something other than the factory default?
Thank you,
Jan

hahahahhahaha... stickers..
I'm 100% sure they don't make stickers for that specific card..
but ,,,, if you cad up the dimensions, you can get a sticker (CUT ) to the exact size from sticker cutting websites.
The easier route, would be to just take the shroud off and paint it with something like plastidip, it's easily removeable, so you can change colors later, or for when you sell it.

You can always ask the manufacturer too. You would be surprised at some of the things you can get from them.

Just order a sample from these guys. Make a small template with a piece of paper and cut them by hand.

Easy peasy :thumb:
You could even make a few small accents on the shroud with the left overs or even order 2 samples to have some extra.
