    first off i would suugeust toning the size of those pics down a bit 1024-768 pixels, then i would suggeust blue or black sleeving, cause black goes good with any color, but the blue would be a nice touch, and in personal opinion, don't go U/V i don't like the color of it but thats me

    color wise i would go with UV blue, or blue. that will match your LED fans.
    any sleeving from Performance PC's will do you well. theirs are all top notch quality parts. take a look!

    As soon as they get back up and running I would buy from them. Unfortunatly They did get hit by the newest hurricane so it might be a few days yet. If nothing else Frozen CPU will have just as good sleeving at a comparable price.

    FOr the red led, can i color it with black (or blue if i have any) permanent marker? or would that screw it up? and could i cover it with electric tape?

    Can the electric tape touch other parts too?

    can the tape touch a bunch of parts and it wont do anything?

    Electrical tape won't completely block the light
    If you have the balls, your best option might be to desolder the LED
    If not, try painting it then covering it with tape.

    if i get a blue cold cathode would the blue light be strong enough to stop most of the red light?

    basically i can tape up my whole mobo or something?

    Eh, a little electrical tape wont hurt the LED, I'd take some black, wrap it around itself for about a 1"-1" square, then tape it over the red LED on your mobo...

    Otherwise, find something completely opaque (Perhaps a small piece of rubber-coated metal) and place that over the led.. I have some blue cathodes and they drown out the red led so it's not really anything to worry about!

    Hehe, don't be afraid to use electrical tape... that is why they call it electrical tape :p

    Maybe consider taking a piece of hard black plastic and cutting it to about .5x.5"
