I had an Asus OEM ebay special s939 motherboard that looked just like that. Was a pull out of a different system so no Asus support. Finding drivers and the pinouts was a chore. Note to self.... do not buy used $10 motherboards off ebay. Didn't even have a port shield, had to make my own out of cardboard and sprayed it black.

Anyway, I like the low budget case mods and so far yours is looking ok. Subbed.

I'm curious to see what "pink" LEDs look like.

Additional thoughts... paint that power supply housing! I'd also tell you to paint the motherboard heatsinks but I guess that would defeat their purpose, right? Painted heatsinks don't dissipate heat, right?

I am curious about the fan blades as well.

Keep up the good work... but you need another lamp in that room when you're taking pics.

Did you paint the cpu heatsink? Kind of hard to tell.
