Yes. It was fun. I painted it silver a metallic color. This makes the cold cathod reflect better.

hey :)

i painted the inside of my case with Plasti-Kote Craklin' spray. basically my case has a white/textured blue spray job, what you do is first spray a heavy (multiple light coats) coat of my blue (also by plasti kote - metal flake blue). then after it has dried you spray the cracklin' topcoat which 'cracks' and through the cracks you see the blue. comes really coooool.. the only problem is that there are limited topcoats avialable so you have to match one you like..... also vvery important put lots and lots of sealer (clear varnish) since pc components, especially PCBs tend to scratch

be careful what you paint, you may not be able to fully assemble the sucker afterwards.

That guy painted his interior and did a really nice dremel cutout of a dragon.

THAT is a bad a$$ mod!! :Q

goog god that's slick. I'm envious :)

I panited the chassis of my case, yes. It was ugly metal colored, so I primed it a few layers and gave it a flat white finish. Contrasts nicely with the gloss black drivecage and psu (till I got another, it's not poainted yet), red optical drives (interior) and gloss black exterior.
