I'll be doing a very ambitious HTPC project soon and I need some components that, for lack of a better way of explaining, look cool. My theme is going to be black and blue. I already have the PSU. Copper heat sinks are a negative, would much rather go silver (or black). The system is going to be passively cooled and the only components that will be showing are the motherboard, CPU cooler and possibly the hard drives.

Any help would be appreciated!
 
By components, what do you mean? Like CPU coolers that look cool or what? My motherboard has lights around it that flash blue back and forth, if you mean something like that.
 
He probably mean black motherboard with all-blue PCI/PCI-E slots, blue chipset coolers etc, black graphics card with blue cooler... Is my guess right ?
 
Yeah looking for something on black or dark blue PCB with the plastic slots and coolers either black/silver or blue. Built in GPU that can handle HD playback is a plus. I'm having a hard time finding anything.
 
 
Green and Black would look cool as well. I know the G780 is a much better board for HTPC than anything that Nvidia makes. Main thing I'm looking for is enough CPU and Graphics power to play full HD (1080p) from QAM, OTA and Blu-Ray sources.
