Antec 1030B Esthetics Question

[Garet Jax]

Hello all,

I have always wanted a black case, but all of my external components are grey. How does this look (does anyone have pictures)?

If there any way to change the front bezel of the external components from grey to black? Thanks a lot for all ideas.

Get the BLUE one!! I've never owned an Antec case before but when my friend was building a system, I suggested that he use one cuz of all the raves about 'em. He currently only has a Plextor 16/10/40a and floppy in his system. Even though the colors don't match, they look GOOD together.

The Antec black isn't a true black anyway, they sell components that have black bezels but even those won't really match. I think the beige/black combo looks ok as well. Besides, aren't all the components behind the door panel? =)

Garet, the grey on black will not look bad. (Think of a grey leather chair with black arm rests.)
However your taste may vary, & I think Black on Black looks the best, but that's just me.

If you want to change the faceplates from grey to black just paint them. (Use spray paint)

I painted my case & all the drive face plates...it turned out looking much better that I had imagined. If you came to my house & saw the system you could honestly not tell the drives have been painted.

lhampel,

Nice!

Its even better that you have Anandtech in the monitor background.

my setup looks nice. as said before, the black on the case is not really black. it is a really dark grey (gray??)

I had a pic of my case with the front door open, and my white cd drives showing, but I haven't a clue where now...

you have grey components? sweetness. as said before, just think a mild two-tone leather job. trust me, it will look nice. hell, it looks nice with white components.
