I was only thinking about spray painting the purple plastic parts,not the entire case,but it's not an urgent matter. The monitor is an older 15 inch lcd,with a TN panel,25 ms response time and inbuild speakers,it's not bad,altough it has a slow panel,i don't see a lot of ghosting in faster fps games …
