Hey!! This is called shotgun or cross posting. You posted the same thing over in GH only a couple of hours ago. Dang! No more coffee for you today. Have a :beer: and chill-out.

Good! You let GH know it was moved. Wish more posters did that 
All I can tell you is interior spray painting is tough to do and have it look real good. Most take trhe case apart and paint the pieces individually, then reassemble the case.
I like all aluminum cases because if I mess-up on the inside, it can be sanded out with wet or dry, then buffed lightly and it still looks good.
Good Luck twitch.

Well ill give it a try i have nothing to lose. Im still trying to figure out the best color sceme. I cant decided it i want a string of white LEDs or blue one coming from under the board. or if i want to paint it black or yellow.....im thinking more of a glossy black maybe. I painted the chrone fan grills and it looks really good imo. so i dont know.
ill buy it presleeved for preformance pcs...i dont have that much time or patients tio sleeve a psu
So im thinking a nice glossy black all the way through with somthing like 10-15 LEDs from under the board and PSU/DVDRW area aswell. how is that sounding?
Hell, if you're going to paint the inside, why not put some UV reactive touches on it and add cathodes?
Hope you've got a window on that thing...

yes there is a window...the cables are all UV so there is UV and the LEDs are cheaper and more flexable/ more hide-able IMO

You just want ideas???
-paint the window
-mod a window into the window
-sleeve that fan wires and other wires visible in the window
-etch the plexi or get appliques
-organize the wires in the back of the computer
-clean up that hole where the network cable comes out of the wall
-hide cables underneath the HD cage, instead of on top of the fan
EDIT: Who is the expert?

Ok this is my plan so far. Adding 2 92mm blowholes, Painting the entire interrior a flat black. I ordered 25 Blue Leds and 10 UV Leds ( and i get 2 free blue ones and 2 free UV ones). I will have 15 under the board, 3 UV behind the HDD cage, 5 UV in the cross bar and 4 at the bottom of the case. so that leaves me with 12 blue ones left,so im thinking pointing downward from the PSU and dvd drives. anyother opinions for the last 12 that i have. they will all be on sitches to they can be turned on and off.

Couple ideas/suggestions.
First, they make UV reactive clearcoat. I sprayed the interior of a case with it once, and the uv lights made it glow red. However, it wasn't that brilliant. I wonder if it would show up better on top of the black.
Second, sleeving a PSU does not take long at all if you have a molex extractor and sleeving kit. http://www.svc.com/flexokits.html
Here is one I did. It could be a lot better, but I'm not a perfectionist. I was just happy to not melt the wires

Finally, I would add up how much electricity those 25 UV lights are going to draw and add it to the rest of your power requirements to make sure. Don't just assume that OCZ will handle all those lights plus everything in your sig. That's a whole lot of lights even for my standards

Ok well i was looking at the hard forum modding section and i found something unbelieve able wiht the sleeving so i am going to be a massive perfectionist about it....great more time and money o well. im haveing my friend take care of the wiring sense thats what he likes to do. and these 50+ LEDs that i ordered this moring are going to pull ~1amp off the 5v i should be good. the side of the PSU says its rated at 52a on the 5v so i should be in the clear.
Im going to order a couple of molex/24p extractors and im going to buy by the foot of sleeving at the frys near me. ill update with pics when i get it done. im going for more a stealth that i can light up if need be. I ordered some uv leds to light up the slots on the board but i dont really want very much uv reactive stuff in there. it looks cool but gets kind of old fast imo.

Ok when you said you ordered 35 LED's I thought you meant 35 of these: http://www.svc.com/12sccfl-blu-22.html
I was like holy cow this guy wants to light up the whole world!
I was like holy cow this guy wants to light up the whole world!25 of these and 13 of these i get 2 free blue ones and 2 free uv ones. i am putting the LEDs from my fans in a switch as well.
the pics in my sig are current except for i painted the side grill black.

So i am changing my mod around. im going with 1 120 instead of 2 92s. i have done some thinking and i will be bable to fit it no prob. so my question is what is the best way to cut a 4.5" (120mm) hole on the top of my case.
