Ok, hopefully this isn't too much of a TLR, but I need a large amount of advice on my new attempt at a mod.
I currently have a Centurion CM 5. ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811119077)
I have cut a top 120mm exhaust hole in it already, this is the only modification that has been done.
I am going to drill out the rivets and paint both interior and exterior, but I need some advice.
First, I was thinking of a Gloss white on the inside. Is there any reason why I would rather go black/different color? Secondly, what color for the exterior (yes I know it is a personal preference, just want ideas!) From the painting threads I've read it looks like just sand with ~400 grit paper to rough it up, spray self etching primer, let it dry, wet sand, maybe one more coat, sand again, then spray the paint, wet sand, repeat until smooth?
Secondly I was wondering how difficult/expensive it is to sleeve my own PSU cables. Would I be better off just buying a modular power supply?
Third, I am going to be removing the HDD cage and going with a SSD/3x 2.5" hdd combo that will all fit in a single optical drive slot. Could I mount the PSU on the bottom front of the case? If so, what steps would I go about doing this?
Thank you all for your input, I'm sure it will be great.
