It should, it'll have 10 bolts with washers underneath it when I'm completely finished. Plus, my computer isn't that heavy anyways

Turning it on
. And I'm not sure about painting, I might if I find the time. I would really like to seeing that some of the (crappy) paint job was scratched during my modding process. However I am not too confident about my painting abilities yet.

Masking off the parts you dont want painted is easy, but could take a while if you want a perfect cover.
Then painting is actually really easy to do. A few coats, then a clear coat for a bit mroe protectiong, and that can be in glossy or matte depending on what finish you want.
This is looking to be a sweet mod. I kinda want to rip apart my new comp I built and start modding now.

Ah right, Cool. So there isn't going to be a power button?
Did you see the thread I made about painting my case? That was the first time I'd every sprayed anything, and it came out far better than I expected it to, it's really easy!

Well the original button is still going to be there, but I haven't decided whether to hook it up or not.
And yeah I saw that thread. How much sanding tit you have to do, and also how many layers did you spray?
lol.
So there are no other mods for this thing?
I think I'd like to see it when you put everything inside.

I actually didn't do any sanding. I degreased it all then applied a very thin coat and then did several others that were a little thicker.
i didnt even do any degreasing lol

oops, typo. And I'm not sure yet, I might paint it, but I think going to be about it. I'll move it over in a few weeks.
I see, but that was the inside of your case right? Does it matter that I'm painting the outside which already has a layer of paint?

didyouknowthat, remember that if you do ever want to connect your power switch (the original one in the case) I'm not sure but I think it'd have to be a 3-way switch which means you can turn it on/off from two locations. At least that's in light switches for example, if you have a ceiling lamp in your stairs, and you want it to turn on/off from 2 different switches (main floor and 2nd floor) the 2 switches would need to be 3-way switches.
And I don't think there's momentary 3-way switches so...

I think you need a 3-way switch for on-off switches, not momentary switches. I mean, the "on" signal is just a short circuit, and the electricity will just bypass the switch that isn't on.
