Paint looks beautiful, now you just need to hide those wires to go along with it.

Looks good. What did you use for paint? And what kind of prepping did you do? I'm planning on painting my case this summer.

I used flat black for the case, and gloss red for the drive bays, and whatnot. For prep I just roughed up the case as best I cood with 150 grit sandpaper, washed it all to rid of all the grease/fingerprints and painted away.

Nice paint job, black and red always looks good wink.gif
Flat will look awsome if you ever want to go UV, it litterally eats up any reflect giving the uv piece a nice glowing color smile.gif

in addition to the observations on the wire management i'd say the pci backplate covers, the ones that are galvanised gray look f'n awful, they stand out like a i dunno what, but they look horrible... maybe i just really dislike that disgusting grey colour... i haven't had that grey paint in the last three cases, so it just makes me wince in disgust when i see it...

the flat black i love, like how you did the tt fan grill too, nice touch, maybe if you are good at taking fans apart (you know how to get the retaining clip off the shaft and back on again) then you could spray the fan red to continue the theme! smile.gif

man i've gotta buy some spray paint... it's well overdue now...

nice work so far

Looks good. Did you de-rivet your case and dismantle the whole thing? Fun, huh? I have the same case and I just painted mine last month. You paint looks like it went on smoother though. Nice job.

Sleeve that PSU in black sleeving and it would look awsome, they would blend in with your case and make it look 100% better IMO. Thats a REALLY good paintjob, mine didnt turn out as good as that and it keeps chipping off, I dont know what I did wrong, ah well. Good job.

Hey Xylicon, nice job on the painting, looks hella sweet, keep up the good work. I love it when people go all out and paint their case, one cuz its takes some serious time and patience to do so, as well as it adds individuallity to an already common case!

Awesome job! I need to paint the frame of my case. The black and red looks sweet nice contrast.

Definately, Ill see if I can get some black wire mesh it will really make the case "bling"

NICE, but some wire management is a must!
