So originally I wanted to do a red themed 932, with the nvidia Claw Logo on the side panel. Once I got online I saw how played out red is on the HAF cases. So I decided to take a different approach and do a Yellow and Black scheme with the theme of Biohazard.
Here is the before pictures, showing that the case was painted with red accents.
Here are the pieces being painted disassembled and taken off the case. They will be lightly sanded and hit with a few coats of primer.
The fan on the case door will also be painted.
I'll be using Krylon rattle cans for this project.
Here are the pieces after a few coats of primer.
Bay covers painted Yellow and taped off before they are hit with Black.
Here is the custom stencil I made. Printed a vector image out in photo shop on 13"x19" matte finish paper and hand cut it out with a razor.
After painting the stencil onto the side panel.
Bay covers after being hit with Black and tape removed.
Being set into their pieces.
These didn't turn out as well as I would have liked them too. They will most likely be re-done in the near future, but they are okay for now.
Here is the fan, done up in Yellow with a Yellow grill.
Side panel with the fan installed.
Finished product! (For now. Look below for details).

Updates to come:
- I plan on painting the top case mesh. Not too sure with what design yet but I am open to suggestions.
- Right now the rig is housing plenty of red fans. I'm hoping to get my hands on some more yellow ones that move air well and possibly some yellow cathodes.
- Hoping to stealth the DVD drive so it blends in with the front of the case.
- And I want to visit the other side panel and touch that up with some yellow too.
Thanks for looking, Feedback is welcome
Best regards,
Mike
