atomicfire.net server case mod-in-progress!

As this is my first major mod, I did'nt know that you had to sand down the metal to get a better finish on the paint and to make sure it sticks well, so I might have to sand all this off if it begins to flake off. Meh.

Looks good and youv've gone this far so Clear Coat it and the finish will last longer then hopefully you won't have to redo..Good Work!
 
So far looks fine to me. You don't really need to sand the inside metal, but you may want to do it for the outside of the case, since the spraypaint won't stick too well to the clear coat that the mfgr puts on it.
 
You may want to reconsider even bothering with the front fan grills if you're going to have the front panel on the case.
