As i have the EVGA 4 WAY motherboard i will not be able to run a quad rad on the top as i will need to have 10 pci slots,im buying the panel as solid so i can cut it out at a later date myself.
 
2/ Black wrinkle powdercoat

Looks way better imo.

( And it won't show fingerprints as much as normal black powdercoat :D )

It'll stand out more from the finishes we usually see on cases.

Go for it Joe.
 
I kinda want this case myself. Although I had the plan to flip the back panel and motherboard tray inside so the PSU is at the bottom then you can get the quad rad in the top I'd imagine. And if you change the orientation of the PSU to flat (and not on it's side) you should get the extra room to mount the Rad without losing 1 or 2 of the bottom 10 PCI slots. Shouldn't be too much work, a few rivets maybe a next small panel for the PSU.

Of the 2 choices, it's pretty tough, although I'd probably go Black Anodised myself of those 2 I'd choose Silver brushed. Silver brusehed is the base right? So you could get that and then choose like any colour of effect you wanted from some of the modding places here, like sparkle anodizing and what not. Juts a thought.
 
I quite like the black wrinkle but would kinda want to see it in person before commiting to buying a case like that, think it might be a bit hit and miss.

Or like dillingerdan said, get the brushed aluminium, and then if you decide to do somthing a bit more fancy its a nice easy base to work from
 
I can have the case powdercoated if need be in the future even if i go with the wrinkle dam i just dont know what to do.
 
Thanks for the feedback im going with the Brushed aluminum so i can mod and powdercoat the case with the colour i like,may even have a go at giving the case a polish :)
 
I'd go with 3/ Black anodised but with black illuminated ring vandal switches :cool:, finger prints come off easy with a soft rag and water. Don't they do black anodised brushed?
The wrinkle powder coat should be the hardest wearing though if your worried about it getting scratched.

Doh!, I see your mind is already made up lol.
