Well, the title pretty much says it. Here I sat over the weekend with nothing to do. I looked around, and there was my computer case, an Enlight 1727 sitting there, all beige colored and entirely boring. The 3 blowholes notwithstanding, I figured my case could use a little spicing up. So, I grabbed the drill and a wire brush attachment and set to work. Here is the (almost) finished product:

Now, the brushed steel look is fine and all, and I think it looks pretty badass, but my real problem is what I should do with the front bezel. Obviously, plastic won't polish up like metal, so I figure I'll have to paint it some color. Do any of you have any suggestions as to what color would look nice with the metal? I was thinking a really dark red or blue, or maybe even black. I already thought of doing one of those metallic paints, but I don't think it would match the real metal all that well. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

Might want to hit it with some clear to keep her from rusting. There is some aluminum color spray paint that would closely match the bare metal color.

Put some clear coat or something on, it'll rust quick. I like brushed steel, but rust'll detract from it a bit.
