Ummmm.. I think there mounnted in the PCB permantley, so I don't think you can remove them.. Why not just paint them. I think that would be much easier you think!!

i was thinking about that.was just hopeing that i might be able to remove them.sad.gif
thnks for reply

only way you're gonna be able to do this is if you have access to an SMT workstation to remove the solder points, and replace them. BIG $$$ needed to pull off a stunt like this.

Paint is your friend for this project.

what version of the lan party do you have? it might just be easier to try to make your vid card match the board, let expensive too... what do you think?

i didn't throw one off a ten story building...but one night, walkin thru the streets to a house party with some friends, we came across a monitor lying by the side of the road. After kicking it and hurting my foot, I picked it up and screamed "TIM, CATCH!!" and chucked it at him....he quickly darted out of the way just in time and it came crashing down in the middle of street and shattered everywhere. Everyone in the streets erupted in cheers. lol. (I might have had a few drinks wink.gif )
