Ok - i have finnaly finished my case (almost!).

In the end i decided to paint it satin black.

Before i got started on the case this is what it looked like

http://www.stuff-gaming.co.uk/casemod/side.JPG

pretty ugly really, actually, thats an understatment.

This is the front... ewww

I wanted to make the side window look much sleeker with clean lines, so i took a jigsaw to it

As for the front 2 floppy slots i intend to source a small piece of mesh and mount the switch which turns on and off my cathode light.

Sorry for the low res pics

Will add some proper ones soon-ish.

Also sorry for not putting the images on the actuall board - cba to resize them and re-host them

wahay! you dont mess around, doesnt seem long ago that you started the original thread!
have you used lacquer or just the satin black paint?
seeing yours come together really makes me want to pull my finger out, damn the other things in my life!!

Thanks

I used satin black on the sides - thats all, as for the front i used satin, and it then ran out - i wanted to get it done quick so i used the satin as a primer, then smacked on some gloss black

That looks really good, well done mate

A huge improvement of what it once was, how much did the redesign and original case, cost you in total?

Vipernet · 11 Jul 2007 at 01:24

Good Job mate. Much better over the original, it's a nice looking case now. Be Proud

Erm, few tins of paint from halfrauds which isnt a lot

dvd + kama bay come to £32

Very nice job, looks A LOT better!

Now all you have do is get the duster out and clean that floor

Thanks for the very few replies i have had

Wow, good job. Paining it black totally remakes it as a case. It's much classier now.

Nick1881 · 12 Jul 2007 at 20:07

Good job dude, big improvement for little cost.

Legless · 13 Jul 2007 at 01:10

Shimmy · 13 Jul 2007 at 09:15

Great job man, very nicely done and worthwhile the effort.

Cheers for the comments

put a 120mm fans on it if you can, you could on the window.
it would push more air and quieter.

oh and spray the inside black maybe?

jongeeone · 25 Jul 2007 at 17:41

Such an effort to strip it and spray the insides black =]

As for the 120mm it means more cutting =[ effort lol.
