Default [Project]Sunkist Case Mod.

Finally completed more or less, just waiting on some more orange 120mm xiggys.

Here are the pics with completed side panel!

I expect it to look better in the dark so I'll update again later.











So I finally broke down and decided to paint my case.


Here we go, pictures of before first.







This is partway through the process. First I used 220 to sand it, then primed it with several coats, then did several coats of paint. Seemed to work fine.




Here are the pictures of hte final product:






Yea, that's supposed to be the OCN flame on the heatsink. I dont care what you guys say about hte thermal properties, painting only the top fin won't change anything. I used a stencil and several layers of paint to do it. Tell me what you guys think.



RATE MY CABLERS!

Just grab the url for the pic and use the insert image button or wrap the url in [img] tags.

A much easier way to put pics in is to put the URL in the box that comes up when you press the button above.

If you don't have that button, then you need to use the Enhanced WYSIWYG Editor.

Alternatively, you can just attach images from your HDD using the "Manage Attachments" button underneath the Message box on the pages where you make a new thread or post.

Whoa, that's a nice ninja-edit. I thought this was in the CM 690 club thread.

:-( Some people like the colors, some don't. I chose them because they match my cables and mobo very nicely. Also, it looks sick in the dark with the blue LED fans on top!
