An Afternoon of Case Modding

[Jet]

I'm building a Folding@home rig, but most of the parts won't show up until next week. Since I had an afternoon free, I started working on the case (an Antec 300 I got for $25 after rebate from Fry's). I painted my last case black inside, but it was a quick job and it didn't look as good as it could have--this one I got inspired by a case mod I saw that was white, so I decided to make a white interior:

In Progress (Primer):

Good job there man. That thing looks pretty good white on the inside.

Nice "color" contrast! I have a similar thing going on in my newly modded Raidmax Aztec (will post pics soon!)

You should paint the thumbscrews black to contrast the white

Yea--the thumbscrews were stock silver. If I really wanted, I could get some black ones--the main issue right now is that the case doesn't even have a window in the side--that's the next major step in the process!

Yeah, those antec three hundreds are great cases for modding though

Upgrade that H50 with some white tubing too

that looks so cool, at first I thought the inside was a cream colour, which I thought looked sweet, then I realised it was white, but it is still all very very good looking

 

[G25r8cer]

I love my antec 300

Wait...the Luke I know?! Creepy! Never knew you were on here!

What are you folding on? You could be using the SMP client!

I'll be getting the motherboard on Wednesday and plan for the build soon after that.
