Default Antec Mini P182 White

Just wondering if anyone has one of the white versions of this case.
My next build is most probably going in one of these, seeing as it should be able to fit even a HD5970, and all the gear I want to go with that.
I was mainly interested in whether the inside was white as well, or is it black like the normal one?
I am probably going to mod the side panel, probably get someone to CNC mill a window into the side of it.
Also, if anyone out there owns either colour, could they please measure the inside, from the pci brackets to 25mm/1" behind the front panel?
I would like to know exactly how long that is, so I can size cards.

Thanks in advance

I have the black one and as long as you remove the second drive bay you could get a 12"+ GPU in there, the side panel has a few layers and I think it would be very difficult to get a window modded properly.

I can get the panel done by a professional miller that my dads work uses to do aircraft parts for them, so i don't think the thickness is much of a problem.
As for the clearance, do you know if I would fit a 14" card in?
The external measurement is 19.9" deep, I'm hoping there's enough space when you remove the bottom hdd cage.

There is plenty of space, and can you even find a 14" card? If you don't have a fan where the second drive bay goes you have plenty of space for cards and wires

The new HD4970 is 13.5" apparently. That's what I'm aiming for.
Thanks for the help anyway. rep+
