I am building a HTPC w/ an Antec 300 and want to paint the inside some color. I would prefer to use Rustoleum Universal paint but will use other good brands, so try to pick a color from there.
Here is what the parts will be
AMD 9600 Phenom X4
Gigabyte 780g mATX
2x2gb G. Skill(blue)
Antec NeoPower 550watt Modular Power Supply
Western Digital 500gb
Samsung 22x Black SATA DVD Burner
Sunbeam 4-fan Black 5.25" Fan Controller
Water Cooling:
Swiftech MCR-120 Radiator
Danger Den TDX CPU Block
DangerDen Fillport or EK Micro-res
1/2" tubing(color will be based upon interior color)

Now I want to know what color I should paint the interior. I was thinking dark purple but I might want to do a dark green also. Gimme some ideas. Vote in the pole but if you have other ideas let me know. I would like to paint it a color that I could find matching cable sleeving and WC fluid for.

since most fluids are UV reactive, how about a UV reactive paint.
something like, back panel green, drive bay blue, bottom orange, top red/hot pink.
just 2 blacklights and that caase should as bright as daylight inside.

UV paint is expensive, and I am not a huge fan of a rainbow colored inside. I would prefer one color inside, then maybe like the cables a diff color and same with the fluid, or all the same color.

Krylon makes a dark purple called Purple (Multipurpose Indoor/Outdoor) (http://krylon.com/products/indooroutdoor_paint/)

Rustoleum Universal no purples whatsoever
(http://www.rustoleumuniversal.com/about.php)

Rustoleum (non-Universal) has purples
(http://www.rustoleum.com/CBGProductF...T&bsq=C&bid=10)

you can also check plastikote and duplicolor

no worries mate, plenty of people helped me when I didnt know a thing about painting/modding back in May. Just pay it forward to someone else once you have the knowledge and experience under your belt.

good luck with the modding
remember prep and priming is 90% of painting - light even coats of everything - sweeping motions (recommend you watch painting tutorials at mnpctech.com for some pointers from one of the masters, Bill Owen)
