Hey guys,

well dunno if you all remember but i sprayed the inside of my case black some time back.

it still looks alright but im fed up with my case,im especialy fed up with the way the black on the inside shows the dust on the bottom so i would like to change the way it looks.

i was thinking of doing a complete respray inside and outside of Gloss white,my monitor is white (Belinea o.display) so i think having a white case aswell would look better.

i dont want to buy another case i just want to improve the one i have.

im planning on getting a hard drive noise dampner,any other little things you think i could get to improve?

How about new power switches?


any ideas welcome :)

in my opinion it looks very smart on the inside!!

are you planning on painting it matt or gloss white?

i think if you do paint it glossy white it would reflect the light and show up any discrepancy's unless you are however very good!!!

I think the paint job looks awesome, Dude. I'd sleeve the cables in UV sleeving and then get some UV Cathodes in there ;)
 
maybe put a carpet on the bottom, so dust doesnt show as fast? :D :P

on a more serious note, spraying the outside of that case wont be easy me thinks. well, the spraying will be easy, but making it look nice wont be. :) if you really want to respray the inside of your case too, i'd go for something not everyone has already, like bright red or so. that would look really nice (with the white outside)
 
I like the idea of repainting it, but not white. White computers turn beige/brown very quick thats why they don't make them like that anymore.

I think some led fans, shrink wrap for the power cables, cathodes. Maybe some design on the inside would be cool.

yea... but it was the old powdercoating, and especially the plastic that turned beige. if its sprayed with paint, that wont happen. (or have you seen all white cars turn beige yet? :) )
 
Spraying the outside wouldn't be all that hard, you just have to have patience and make sure you do it properly. Like other people have said, I wouldn't spray it white, the colour will go "off" with time and it'll look nasty. Imagine, getting a new beige carpet, then I come in a chuck-up all over it, and I mean, aaallll over it! That's what it'd look like! Don't want that do you...

I'd sleeve the PSU wires, then maybe mount some LEDs under the Motherboard, so that they shine out the bottom and around the edges, I've seen it done before and it looks bad-ass!
 
I would keep it black and get some red led's in there, I dont think the shrink wrap looks good in any computer makes it more organized I dont like that. lolz
 
I think it looks great just how it is, but a cool dim light showing through that big arse aviation fan on the front would look neat. I would leave it generally though, its very neat and sharp looking. May be etch the view panel?
