I am getting ready to paint the inside of my case before I install my new 939 system. Will the paint fumes affect anything inside the case?
 
I agree. there is an outside chance of something causing those fumes to ignite... wouldn't want to blow up our computer, would we?

Also, the fumes may cause corrosion, hard to say.

Depending on whether you use hair-dryer to dry it up OR would be simply left untouched for few hours/days.
 
If you paint it outside and let it air dry, on a normal summer say i'd say less than 2 hours. But since its winter, you should let it dry inside. I'd say let it sit and dry for at least 2 hours, and touch it to make sure its dry. Also air it out so theres not alot of fumes in there.
 
When i painted my K6 system (outside not inside), it dried in like 1 hour, which was really good, it was the middle of summer outside though..... Never tried painting the inside, should be OK..... i cant see paint fumes being corosive to the point of damging internal companents though, thats just silly. Expecially if you've got case fans going moving it all about, thats nothing to worry about
 
This has gotten me to want to paint my case (again), im thinking of blue on the inside and black on the outside.
 
OK, well i painted the outside of my case black and the inside blue (both glossy). It took me several hours to do, but i let the whole thing dry overnight. ANd one more thing, dont paint it in your room since the fumes arent good for you.

He he, that sounds like advice from personal experience geoff.......
 
im sure if you painted it with all the stuff IN there, it would do damage...but it most likely wont do anything if you let it dry for a couple of hours. remember, the hotter it is, the more volatile it will become. it wont matter how long the paints been on there, youll start to smell it anyway if it gets hot enough. but i doubt even then it would be a problem.
