Default New Interior Paint And Cable Managment

I finally decided to paint my case and do some more with cable management...

I spent a few hours last night giving the inside of the case a lick of black paint.. And cutting new cable management holes..

RESULT:



New Hole For 24 Pin



New SATA hole










Still struggling with the HDD cables

Im looking to filp it round like THIS thread.

Anyway Hope you like

try powdercoating, best solution for case interior period

@ op, for a first job this looks good, next time, try to roughen up the material with some scotch brite and hit it with primer before you hit the paint on it (just a hint of advice to make it a bit less easy to scratch up)

The black looks great! Good job Cable management looks pretty nice as well. What did you use to paint the case?
I used just a black primer, did not use any gloss, matte etc.

Unfortunately so, it was when i had my cables non-managed originally and i used some scissors to cut the cable ties inside the case

Me like, great job
