Right, This isn't a build log, as much as a mod log - but I have added and subtracted somethings from the original build, so here goes.
I'm going for a gears of war theme, so white and red.

Right, So I built everything up a few months back, got it all how I wanted it, then I decided I wanted to mod it and change it even more.
So, first of all - I stripped everything out and down.
Next, Lined everything up and checked to make sure everything was ready for paint.
First things first, I painted the fans:
Originally looked like this.
Now look like this.
Then, I painted the motherboard armour surround.
Originally looked like this.
Now look this, forgive all the wires and mess. Was testing to make sure everything still worked. - In this image, you can also see that I have painted the power supply surround, painted the RAM heatspreaders and have purchased red cables to fit with my theme.
I've just painted the sides of the case, waiting for them to dry and then will paint the main part of the case, all white.
I'm also looking at purchasing some decal paper, and putting some gears logo's on the case.
Keep checked for more updates.
