    Ok in my transistion to and all Black and Red PC I Vinyle Dyed my Altec Lansing 880 Dolby Digital Speakers.

    -------------------------------------------------
    I then replaced all the LED's with RED
    (Brighter in person)

    Matches my Mouse and keyboard very nicely now.

    I intentionaly choose not to use superbright LED's.
    I watch movie on this and the old green LED's just killed the view.
    I was going to add a dimmer, but decided not becuase the LED's are just perfect.

    Next? Why the monitor of course!!!

    Nice job ZapWiz! :rock:. After your monitor though your whole desktop will be black :D. Except of course for your actual desk-top :p.

    I don't know, I bought it at an artist market here.
    It's a dragon figure
    It has a blue glass base, and will soon be lit blue to contrast the Red.

    So is the monitor next? I just did my 21" up in black vinyl dye. 'Twas a slight bit of a hassle getting all of the plastic pieces off.

    But certainly looks better for it.

    :D

    Nice job with the speakers, straight and clean. :rock:

    Nearly any car audio shop.
    It will be called Vinyl Color or Vinyl Dye
    $4.95 for a can that covered a mouse, keyboard, three faceplates, and the speakers.

    I just bought another can for my monitor.
