Default mirrors

Is it a bad Idea to put mirrors in side a case?
heat wise I though that it might help reflect light and look pretty cool

Shouldn't affect your temps unless you block airflow.

I don't think there is a downside.

I want to put them on the back side of case I was going to paint it but mirrors seems so cool plus with a bit of a raiser I could hide almost all wires behind there.

As long as you're not blocking airflow everything should be OK

What good would it do to put it inside the case? You wouldn't be able to see it right? Unless you're using it on the mobo side, in which case I can't find a practical use for it.

Im plan on doing something similar with a smoke color or black acrylic, gonna try hiding osme cathodes behind it an dmake it look like Syr's TJ07 side panel. I also figured cuting acrylic rectangles with the simple score and snap method will be much faster, and easier then painting, and it will look pretty good and clean.
