Modded my Antec 300

RedTen · 15 Mar 2009 at 14:54

Hey guys,

Painted the inside of my 300 today in a nice matt black :cool:

Just wondered if anyone else has got some 300 mod pics to share, im looking for some inspiration..

Ill put some pics up in a few mins..

Ok here they are

Cable management is a pain without a modular and a small case but hey i tried..

Looks very nice, you've done a good job by the looks of it, a big improvement over the grey, looks like a more expensive case now! How much paint did it take and what did it cost?

RedTen · 15 Mar 2009 at 15:18

Cheers

1 can of normal primer and 1 can of matt black. I was careful not to waste. Very thin layers and a lot of time taken i think is the key..

It was £12 for the two in B&Q.

Id like to add a window to look at it all but im not sure if im ready for that yet

Looks very good. Did you use just the one can?

Looks cool mate, did pretty good with cables i think, all things considered.

A side panel window showing the mobo area would look really nice.

Kennysevenfold · 15 Mar 2009 at 17:47

looks nice, but why.? theres no window to see it.?

LukeTW · 15 Mar 2009 at 19:54

Looks a lot better!

Just need to tidy them cables up

Blackwhite · 15 Mar 2009 at 20:02

U have to install side window mate.

wellibob · 15 Mar 2009 at 20:05

that does look better :cool:

Kennysevenfold · 15 Mar 2009 at 20:06

and get those ram moduals in the correct position

Blackhawk47 · 15 Mar 2009 at 20:13

Maybe try mounting the hard drive the other way round, and try and route it round the back.

paulh · 15 Mar 2009 at 20:39

nice man, been thinking of doing my armour for ages, was it hard? how long did it take?

datawrite · 15 Mar 2009 at 20:58

Very well done mate. Must have been fiddly spraying the whole internals. You have done a great job. You definitely need a window now!! Be nice if Antec brought out a window for the 300. It is such a popular case. I love mine.

I have 'Hung' my Hard drive vertically in the HD bays with sewing elastic and cable ties. The wires are then routed around the front! My 4 pin Power cable was extended and run around the mobo. I do have a modular PSU too which helps!

FaceplantSi · 16 Mar 2009 at 14:37

Modular PSU is my next upgrade to help with cable mess. Gonna give this painting a go too I reckon and then maybe some dremmel action on the side as a window is a must there. Already got large sheet of perspex from B&Q as was looking to start some engraving to be lit by LED's. Will post pics if I ever get around to it all!

MrSnowman did you sand the surfaces down first or did you go straight for primer as i'mlooking to do my 300.

Linx · 27 Mar 2009 at 17:22

Nice little mod there

very nice look; matt black it's amazing what a little bit of paint can do.

EdGey · 27 Mar 2009 at 23:49

looks much better black, nice work

Gepetto · 28 Mar 2009 at 22:58

I've just looked at mine, and yours now looks like a different, more expensive case. First class, should really do my one now.

As has been asked, did you sand it down, or just use primer?
