[MOD] Project Boring to Beautiful

No doubt you have all seen the NZXT Phantom in white. its a beautiful case but after owning it for a few months i started to get bored of looking at it, so i thought i would do something a tad different...


201
^^^^ Reference (white NZXT PHANTOM)


Im not an artist and i wouldnt even know where to start with spray painting a case, so i thought instead i should do something a little "less perminant", and settled on VINYL, cheap and easy to remove when you bum it up.

So this was the result, (please bear in mind its not had its final touch ups and this picture was taken on my iphone)


450

450

450

450

i plan to do the inside similar colour scheme

I was told mine looked like something based on Mass Effect, so I am rather pleased, great case aesthetically and feature wise.

OT: Great paint job, good skills.
