First of all, i'm sorry if this is the wrong forum to stick this in, i couldn't find any other which suits it better.
Anyway to the topic at hand, i own a Corsair 800D Obsidian (version 2) which comes with two front panel i/o USB 3.0 ports.
Now, im abit of a stickler when it comes to having something wired from the front of my case, through my case then out of the back to be plugged in again. For me, its a big no no and so i wish to use a Internal USB 3.0 Header which my motherboard (ASUS Maximus IV Extreme-Z) supports but annoyingly doesn't include a 3.0 Header. Now, the issue is that the only manufacturer i can find which make Internal USB 3.0 Headers is a company called StarTech.com and the cable for it is blue. Whereas the theme of my case is all black and whilst the cable probably won't be seen from the angle the case sits at, its a big issue for myself as i know that its not colour coded. Its the same reason i've ordered a EVGA black SLI cable as the one included with my motherboard is a horrible orangy/brown.
I've tried PC World and Maplins (although i knew they wouldn't have a clue what the hell i was on about - The dude in PC World didn't even know what a USB Header was) and dabs.com (my regular parts supplier) have the StarTech.com header but i can't find any other manufacturers.
I could always just get some black electrical tape and wrap it around but i don't think that would look very good and again, i'd know its 'shoddy'.
If someone could point me in the right direction that would be most appreciated.
Many thanks in advance
