 RGB power supplies, RGB SLI bridges, RGB water cooling fittings? I guess some men really do just want to watch the world burn, don't they? But if you're the type of person who wishes this RGB trend would just please go away already, the type of person who will keep wearing black until they invent something that's darker, well then you, you're in luck my nerdy nictophile friend, because today we are wiping the RGB glee right off of a perfectly good rainbow rig and replacing it with the blackest black you can get in a can. 🎵Music🎵 Synergy allows you to share your mouse and keyboard between multiple computers at once. Check it out now at the link in the video description. For maximum satisfaction, we thought we'd start out with a build that's not very black at all. For our case, we chose the aptly named Phanteks Eclipse P400 tempered glass Glacier White. And for the internals, well, if you remember our RGB build guide, whose glory you can witness here, you'll recognize all the glow-tastic components that were loaded inside. Take them in now kids, because after today it's lights out. 🎵Music🎵 To achieve our goal, we're using a product called Black 2.0, the world's flattest, maddest black art material from Stuart Semple out of the UK. Short of using carbon nanotubes, this stuff is the darkest black in a bottle, and we've got lots of it. It's like a regular acrylic paint, except it uses a special base that allows it to hold way more pigment than usual, drying with a super flat, non-reflective finish. So even if some chipper rainbow thumper shows up at your LAN party with RGB strobe lights and a glowing fidget spinner in your face, your rig will actually be able to absorb the fun. Finally, a PC that's as soul-sucking and nihilistic as you are. We blacked out the most egregious parts of the machine first. Yes. 🎵Music🎵 Your feeble skills are no match for the power of the dark side. POWER! Oh, excuse me, sorry. Since we weren't using spray paint like we did in the PlastiDip PC video, which you can watch here, we didn't have to do a whole lot of masking this time around in order to protect sensitive components. Instead, we relied on laser-like focus and a few rubber stoppers to avoid painting the motherboard headers, slot pins, and card edges. But who wants to paint an entire case using a tiny filbert? Move over, Bob Ross. For this part, it's time to pull out the big guns. Well, relatively speaking, we used a 7-inch roller to say, night-night, to the Eclipse P400. I don't care how popular white is. BACK IN BLACK! BLACK! BACK IN BLACK! Yeah, I can't do the ACDC thing. Forget it. And you know what, actually, now that I think of it, why stop at desecrating just one 2017 PC hardware trend? And we're back. This is a really weird video. Anyway, with the painting done, and it actually only ended up taking one bottle of Black 2.0, so for how much of it we bought, it's sure lucky it isn't expensive, we were ready to put it all back together. Pro tip, by the way, if you paint over the legend on your motherboard, use the manual to figure out where your power and reset leads go. Leaving only the answer to the question on everyone's mind. Does it still work? Theoretically, it should be fine. We did test our Black 2.0 on a sacrificial video card before beginning the project, and while putting heavy paint on fan blades could debalance them or slow them down a little, perhaps affecting the rig's thermals, our expectations were high. High until they were dashed. Because no, no, it doesn't work anymore. It actually did turn on for a little bit, but now it's as dead as you are inside. In retrospect, we could have coated everything with a Plasti Dip primer, since we know for sure that Plasti Dip is non-conductive, but I guess we just flew too close to the sun on this one. At least we only killed the motherboard, since that was the only actual PCB that we painted. So there's still a valuable lesson for our vamp friends out there. You should be able to use this product to black out your RAM, case, video cards, you pretty much name it, without impacting performance or operation. On the, uh, huh, bright side, even though it's dead, it pretty much looks just like it would have if it had worked and we hadn't worked it. So then, enjoy this completely satisfying and actually kind of goth footage of our finished product. I can't say enough good things about Synergy. It's a simple software download that solves once and for all the problem of having two keyboards and two mice on your desk. Whatever reason you have for running two computers at a time, maybe you want to test your code in multiple environments and you don't like VMs, or maybe you've got a work-issued MacBook, but you prefer a PC at home. Synergy will allow you to use the same keyboard and mouse seamlessly across both of them. You just drag and drop the mouse across the screen and it works in Windows, Mac, and even Linux. And it isn't even limited to just two systems. You can have as many as, I think we've tested like five at a time. They've got a basic and pro option with a one-time payment, and features include things like clipboard sharing between computers, dragging and dropping files between computers, the ability to set up hotkeys, and more.
