Custom HDD

Thread Starter 
New to forums..

Just bought a NZXT Phantom 410 case. And now I'm thinking about making even it more sexy! (It's not even arrived yet)

It's White/Black. Think I'm going to do all the black in carbon fibre. But I'm also thiking about doing my hdd's. It's a self adhesive carbon fibre (effect) that I have. Do you think the hdd would get too hot with this on it?

If so..
I read a thread about painting a ssd.. So can I paint my hdd instead of wrapping it? I'm thiking of going for gold.

Any advice welcome. Everything is at the thinking stage just now.

Thanks
Phantom 24K Gold Baby

Avoid blocking the breathing hole(s) on the HDD in either case.
