Default First Mod

Today I started my first case mod. It's nothing too fancy, I just painted the inside of my case. It's a CM Centurion 5 with the blue aluminum, so naturally, I'm painting the inside blue!

Here's my disassembled computer.



Ready for primer.


(Forgot to take pictures of the primer.)

After a couple of coats of paint.



Done painting! (Excuse the blurriness, I didn't want to take out the good camera.)



Dinner time!



All done! (Again, excuse the blurriness.)








All in all, I'm pretty happy with the paint job. I know I could've done a little better but this is the first time I've painted a case. Let me know what you think.

Oh man, that Poutine looks delicious!!!

Nice job on the modding! I am hoping to do my own mod eventually (since I live like 3 blocks from a Home Depot)

Those fries look oddly like the ones we make where I work. (Outback Steakhouse.) Just with no bacon. Oh, how many coats of paint did you do?

Hmm, to be honest, I don't remember how many coats I did (the over spray was ridiculous and I had to sit down in the fresh air a couple of times) It was probably around 4 or 5.
