white Graphics card?

[barnsley]

G'day all,

I have a new plan for my current system and a new them, purple and white. Now, I have the case,cables and other bits planned however I need a white graphics card (or two). From my research the only cards I can find that are white are the old KFA gtx680 ltd edition 'cards and that Sapphire 7950 mac edition 'card. Am I being blind and there are some current 'cards available or do I need to wait/not bother?


thanks,

White CB just looks wrong mate - please dont do it

dont get one with a white pcb
paint the cooler maybe? not the fans ofc, just the plastic around them

 

[barnsley]

Maybe I should change the card to a black one considering that motherboard wise I'd struggle to find a white one and the mix wouldn't look... right?



yeah, I googled it. white PCB does look minging. The painting is a good idea although painting stuff isn't my forte. Do you lot think that if I got something like a black back plate to cover the white PCB it could look better?

galaxy usually do a line of white cards dude, but youd have to be pretty mental :O and probably end up having to buy from the states, but they got the 770 HoF, 780 Hall of fame.

Isn't Galaxy the US name for KFA? I'd import them if it wasn't for the fact that everything I've ever imported from the states ends up arriving broken in some way :c.

 

[chrismjurd]

whichever way around they are, ocuk are doing the 780HoF but at a pretty premium though.

yea i'd say get a rather plain black card and maybe an asus board with the thermal armor and paint both white. white PCBs just look awufl.

i'd only go as far as painting the shroud white, white PCB looks foul.

 

[barnsley]

Yeah, I'll look into painting the white shroud.


I found this though and it'd work...

I think tek syndicate painted white an EVGA card .. have a look at that one if you like the result.

Or maybe just buy a white waterblock / normal waterblock+paint and a white backplate (or normal backplate+paint)?
