PART 1 - THE CASE [HAF932]:

Here's how it arrived:

First things first.. take inventory... check!

Primer everything on the inside:

It's a lot easier to drill out all the rivets. Unfortunately I was lazy and of course the primer leaked around to the outside, but luckily I was painting everything so I didn't worry much.:

For the inside I went with flat black, for the outside gloss black. I painted the brackets and drive buttons as well with rustoleum any surface green:

Also had to do the card holders:

Next the little things....

The back vent preparation. I am a HUGE fan of electrical tape!:

Now the card "slot" and front meshes:

Front vent prep. I know no one will see it but I will KNOW! lol

Top vent prep:

Totally prep'd for vent painting:

Had to do the outside "vents" too:

Time for a little results!

The Finals:

Something feels like its missing... hmmm.... what could it be?

Ahhh... there it is!!

Stay tuned for part 2.... cooling....

Make the tubing green with yellow anti-kick coils for the ultimate biohazard look

Yeah I have clear tubing right now but since I got the UV Green liquid it should be fine when I kick on the green and UV lights. If not then yeah I'll just swap it out for green tubing. Gotta get the shock and awe factor.

The HAF932 or that particular case? I didn't do the one in the link. But the case is the same.

Ah i meant the particular case. I saw it on legit reviews and for some reason it looked exactly like what you've done... nvm..I'm crazy.

Nice job on yours

PART 2: COOLING FANS and LEDs

Here's what the fan's on the triple rad on top look like:

In the dark:

Of course I had to change the LED's to green...

Coming soon... part 3... More LED changes...

Rick Arter · 08-22-09

Very impressive the best color scheme I have seen in a while!

I like, I like LOL.

ViralHack · 08-30-09

Added the fans on the door as well as changed the LED's in the front fan to green. Or so I thought... apparently green-yellow is what they were and they didn't look right so I'm going to go buy some actual green ones and resolder them later tonight.

Here's the new look with the door fans:

Time to change the front LEDs:

Ended up looking like this:

You'll notice the yellow-green doesn't mesh well:

So, I'll get some greens and change them tonight.

Part 4 coming... corrected LEDs.
