pictures

i've been working on this for about 3 months and just got the windows installed a few minutes ago.

it's an Antec SX1030 that i've painted black (not mirror, but you can still see yourself in it). i'll be the first to admit that the paintjob isn't the best, but for my first attempt at painting a case i think it's pretty good.

i still have to buy the glowire but i'm not sure what color(s) to get yet, i need 3 fan grills and a few other things, not to mention put a system in it, but that will all come in time. with any luck i can be done by the end of the summer.

comments would be appreciated.

PC-Workshop has the best article on case painting that I've seen. If you decide you want to try for a mirror finish, you can probably do it without too much work beyond what you've already done.

I like the cutout work you've done there. Really nice, I think.

Why are the photos all messed up?

From what I can tell, it looks pretty nice, although I cant tell if the paint job is smudged or if its the photos. Luckily, the good thing with painting a case is that if you srew up its relatively easy to fix your mistakes.

i don't know why the pictures got screwed up, they looked fine after i took them.

i just used my dremel to do all the cutouts. the paintjob probably does looked smudged right now because it has my finger and hand prints all over it. i just need to clean it.
