Default Black or blue?
Finally decided I'm just going with my standard paint/lacquer setup, a nice prime/paint/clear coat job is a lot of work for a work case.
I'm going with ether black or a deep metallic blue for color and ether Lombax's idea of a companion cube or the OCN logo on the front so it's not so plain.

Here is a test piece I made last night



It has a decent semigloss finish even with no polishing.

I saw a thread somewhere about a Rubik's Cube inspired LED case... Maximum PC maybe...?

Anyway, on topic, what a nice cube you have there bro... The OC Flame looks real nice too...

Default Air for down under
As a last minute idea I cut a hole in the bottom of the motherboard tray and installed a fan.



I don't think it will do much but it's the only place left with no airflow.

lol the fan behind the motherboard just made me laugh. not sure how effective that will be with system temps, but who cares, its filled to the brim with awesome. And those new pics look really good - finally some nice looking paint on particleboard, looks like you know what you are up to there.

Oh and about the big fan up top, those 250's are cool in theory but they move very little air. Its too bad you got rid of it tho, cause they light up really nice.

I am liking the idea about the fan behind the mobo... I think it would work better if the fan was behind louvers that directed the air to flow parallel to the MoBo and not perpendicular at the MoBo...
