Hey guys

So I was wondering if there's someone that could help me out.

Basically, my system isn't the latest or greatest, but I'd still like to at least try make it look alright.

Been toying with the idea of painting the mobo (don't shoot me) but have since decided the risk my outways the reward...

So plan B, custom armor :D

This is my board: Link

As you can see, it has no armor lol.

So this is what I'm thinking - Custom made IO armor, possibly a custom made full shield? I dunno, I'm keen on ideas,

I basically wanna go from this

to something more like this

Without the LED etc, just the actual shields.

Something like this could also be cool

Where it's basically a cover I could just slot over/screw onto/double sided tape one? to my board...

I'm thinking the easiest would be to make it from perspex, I'd just need like the basic thing, as I could paint it myself.

Just need someone with the right tools to be able to cut it all out for me.

I'm based in Boksburg, so anyone up here in Gauteng would be grateful.

Let me know what you guys think/if you have any better ideas to "clean" the board up/if you might be able to help.

Thinking it could probably be 3D printed, or cut out from a single piece of acrylic using a CNC machine or even a scroll saw if you think you'd do a good job?

Looking forward to your replies.

Thanks guys
