Default "Armor in the sun": Ideas

Hey guys. I currently have a Armor Jr. and wanted to snazz it up a little.

I was think of a deep yellow inside with a few red highlights/lights to make it look fiery. The problem is that the front LED is blue and won't fit with the look. Any way to remedy this?

The parts I need will need to be under $100 for everything.

www.coolpc.com.au and www.pccasegear.com.au are the two places I'm willing to shop.

Which fans/cathodes would do well? Any painting tips or anything?



Also, my card is red PCB and my motherboard is blue. Will this look really bad?

Cheers.

instead of yellow, just do blue and red, then everything will match.

Blue + Red = CONTRAST

Haha, I'm scared that will make it a purpley flamer color.

Then you can name it the Grape Ape.
Here is an example of blue and red LED's together.


Thats looking at it from a different angle (obviously)
Personally, I think it looks really cool.
