Case Painted


Recommended Posts

Putting together a pc for my girlfriend for christmas. Just got the case back from the painter and mostly back together. I'll have more pics when completed. Not sure if anybody is familiar with this case or not, but I cut a large hole in the main drive storage area right behind the psu for all the wires to go into. It should come out pretty nice, there isn't much modding here besides the wire hole and the paint, but there just didn't seem like there was much room to do a window on this case or anything. I'm going to also put some white LED's on PCB strips behind the mesh in the front.

 

Thanks for looking, feedback good or bad will be accepted :thumbs-up:

that's a lovely looking paint job :)

 

however - the case is confusing me - is the power button area on the side?

 

The power button and mesh area in the front of the case. The drives are mountable to either side of the case. I will have fully assembled pics very soon, waiting for a cpu cooler to get here and I need to sleeve a few things, I want to take the side panels off and on as little as possible. I will post pics when fully completed, inside and out.

 

by the way the color is "Wave Blue" its off of the pontiac vibe... its kinda of like an incandecent color...

ok got an update for ya, I can't finish it yet because ups rescheduled my last delivery of a cpu cooler and some sleeving for the front panel led's, switches, and fans. I also need to modify the front buttons because they no longer fit in the holes haha... too much clear.

 

updated pics, as far as the black drive goes... the lian li drive cover does not fit on this the drive can only sink back probably another .5mm to 1mm at most.

It looks nice, a good small footprint PC, but the drives on the side seem confusing... What kind of case is it? It seems a little more roomy than a Shuttle, but obviously not a full or even mid tower :P

 

Maybe a ruler or something to put it in perspective... :) I think it looks great and your girlfriend is one lucky lady :D

Try popping off the plastic on the cd drive and painting that. It's a shame to see such a nice paintjob be ruined by a small detail like that.

 

I think you said you took it somewhere to get painted, is that correct?
