HAF 912 "Advanced" Paint Suggestions?

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
Hey everyone, just did a couple updates to my first build here, mainly cable management and a new side side panel but I'm looking to paint the interior and the front grills. Its a three-way tie for me between AMD red, Black, or White. But I'm open to suggestions! I'll post some pics. of the new management and side panel down below.

Got the panel from Cooler Masters website for $12. Cheaper and faster than cutting one myself! The fan grill isnt as bad as some people make it out to be, you can see right through it.

Update: Fixed my desk, finally every thing is put back and even found a new perch for my rig.

You could just spray the inside of the case black. That would look better. If you really have the time, do a cool black and white combo. thumb.gif

Hmm... Sounds about right, I just originally had it facing up to get better airflow, Ill give it a go tomorrow, I cant bear two cable management jobs in one day. doh.gif And as for the color yeah I was thinking white too, just the grills and interior though. Something like this maybe: http://www.overclock.net/t/1108956/first-time-painting-haf-912 Without the outside painted white, but you get the idea. tongue.gif

Hot pink and lime green on the outside. White on the inside. Fill all fan slots with Xigmatek Crystal purple LED fans. Rock out.

I thought all 912 advanced came with black interior already, hence costs more?

That'd be one intense paint job and sadly no, that's why I call my case the 912 "Advanced" (Notice the quotes). The real 912 Advanced is EXACTLY like this case except it comes with the window (which I have), a black interior, a front 200mm (instead of a 120mm), and 2 usb 3.0's on the front. I got this case on sale off Newegg for $50 and at the time (7 months or so ago) the real 912 Advanced was only sold in Asia and the shipping would've been ridiculous. So I sprang for this one! Now the the real advanced is back in the US and get this, it costs $100 for those 3 extra things. I'd say I got a steal. biggrin.gif
