Im trying to decide on a color scheme. Im already going to be making the future WC loop, blue. Cases painted black are starting to get over done. Yes, we know, it makes everything else stand out. Throw around some ideas for colors, and Ill start a poll.

well, I painted mine a Charcoal Gray using a hammered finish paint, it looks far better than the standard over-done black. Black parts really shine against the gray paint.

Im about to post a worklog with over 50 pics, stop by and check it out in a few hours.
Might be a few more ideas for your case.

*edit* how can you drink Rockstar, it turns my face inside out.

That was my second of the day. They dont effect me that much. Plus it was my mixer for the Vodka. This is my first build. Not my last. I still have my GF's cm 690 coming in the mail. Its probably getting painted right away. Expecially since it has no system to go in it yet.

What can I say. I was inspired. It just goes to show, insperation is like the flu. Share enough and others catch it.

Also. I have bee looking for a shop to cut me out a similar back plate for the cable routes. Nothing yet. Ill probably end up doing it myself. Just grab a sheet of metal and measure it out. You wouldn't still have the specs? Pm me if your feeling generous. Also, I was deciding on a window. I dont know if i want a short tall window, or a long tall window. Do I really need to see the hard drive bays? But it might come in handy when the WC loop goes in later this year. Ah decisions decisions.
