Black64 Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 (edited) I will post some pics soon but I am waiting for the case to come in. Shipped from newegg. Tracking says it will be here next week! I will post more on this build as I go. I like to plan twice and build once. OK so the color will be this White base, black accent and purple(still unsure, but maybe just use cold cathodes instead of paint?) accents So it will look something like this. (forgive my quick ms paint skills ) Edited June 9, 2011 by Black6464 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black64 Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 Ok so this weekend I am starting to paint. Here is a few pics of the stock case. I really like the HAF 912. Its quite big and was a great deal. I was thinking about how much it actually cost. For example if you where to subtract everthing from it like 2 120mm fans $18 Shipping $15 MIR $10 Packaging materials and accessories $5 Newegg markup $7 that comes out to $5 dollars per case! More pics to come! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

capthowdy575 Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 nice did you use a primer? or sand before painting? a good prep will give even better results. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black64 Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 (edited) nice did you use a primer? or sand before painting? a good prep will give even better results. I don't normally sand the HAF cases because they have a nice texture to them. But I do prep with mineral spirits. I didn't use a primer this time. I guess I forgot Edited June 19, 2011 by Black6464 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
