Yea I've got an sx1030b, and I was thinking along the lines of silver paint or something? What would look cool? Any pics would be apreciated and anyone who's in the mood to type a how-to on painting cases youre more than welcome. A link to a painting article would be cool too... thanks!
 
mirror finish guide

i am currently painting my sx1030 black using this guide but i'm not going for that complete mirror finish. it's not that hard to paint, just make sure you have a lot of patience, time and workspace.

i don't have any pictures yet because i'm not anywhere near finished.

also if your going to paint the plastic pieces (front panel, drive covers, etc) don't use the same kind of paint. i'm using plasti-kote ultra vinyl color. it's incredibly simple to use, just spray it on and wait for it to dry. no sanding involved.
 
You can see what I've finished on mine so far (still plenty to do, but I'm waiting for my watercooling kit from dtek before doing more) at my case mod site. Be sure to read back through the archives for details on everything I've done.
