I was thinking of doing a color change to my Xaser II and painting it yellow with some high quality automotive paint. Something along the lines of this color:

I would also pull my monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speakers apart so that I could paint them to match.

What do you think?

ROMMELL2004 · 03-17-2004, 01:44 AM

i like that bright color looks good then if you have matching keyboard and mouse , monitor thats even better post some pics when you are done.

imbest123 · 03-17-2004, 01:57 AM

awesome, thats the same case I wanted because yellow is pimpin. Add like a nice chrome grilll for style on your Xaser III lol.

Strider · 03-17-2004, 05:03 AM

I personally don't yellow, but that's just me. I don't like yellow cars, but others do. It's all subjective.

Confused · 03-17-2004, 07:49 AM

It's your PC and you are the one that has to look at it each day.

What do you care what I think?

But in case you do, I don't like yellow. I like blue.

It's a matter of taste. I personally don't like it.

I have a friend who painted his yellow. If he ever gets it completed it will look very nice.

Thinking I might finish it up this week, now that I have everything in there.

Just need to figure out what to do with all the wires, and I have to paint the face plate on that burner now.

you have to admit though, that is one slick looking case. the only thing i dont like about it is the cross side widow.

QuickSilver · 03-17-2004, 10:45 PM

Oh, it looks neat all right.

sheeepy the noob · 03-18-2004, 07:19 AM

is taht a hood lock holding it down?

**Force Flow** · 03-18-2004, 09:56 AM

To me, a yellow case looks a little odd...

It's a matter of taste, I guess.

It's always a matter of personal taste. What one person thinks is cool or good looking, another person might think is terrible. We're all different. A lot of people like the Thermaltake cases, I don't. Everyone has their favorite color and everyone has their own opinions on everything. That's why I don't ask other people what they think of something I'm planning to get. It's not going to be their thing, it's going to be mine. I'm paying for it and I'm the one who is going to have to live with it. So what if someone thinks it's ugly or silly looking, the main thing is I'm happy with it.

tyoung · 03-18-2004, 10:34 AM

Well said Cricket.

QuickSilver · 03-18-2004, 10:48 AM

True enough. I happen to like yellow, so I guess I'll go with it.

no m$ · 03-18-2004, 08:21 PM

When you pull your monitor apart, have it discharged by a monitor or tv tech. some monitors are self discharging, but NEVER assume the self-discharging feture is working. The capacitors and anode suction cup thing hold about 30000 volts or more.

QuickSilver · 03-19-2004, 03:00 AM

Thanks for the heads up.

Zap Branagen · 03-19-2004, 05:05 PM

I dont' know about the yellow....

Computers are supposed to look sleek and forboding, like the mysterious and dark sources of power that they are

ComputerNut · 03-19-2004, 11:04 PM

I think the yellow really supports a lively theme. I really like the colour!

TimPoet · 03-19-2004, 11:13 PM

I like it

QuickSilver · 03-21-2004, 05:53 PM

Well, when and if I do it, I'll post pics for all of ya.

**Force Flow** · 03-22-2004, 10:20 AM

I'll be sure to grab my sunglasses

QuickSilver · 03-22-2004, 08:19 PM

LOL! By the time I get done with the paint and lighting, you're gonna need 'em!
