Krono needs your help (again)!
I initaly wanted to buy a antec SoHo server case and paint it, thus resembling a Alienware case but then I changed my mind when I decided it would be too boring and kept looking around for ideals. Then I went to VooDooPc's ( http://www.voodoopc.com ) site and looked at their nice cases, I then decided to make their F550 Advanced Aluminum Chassis covered in a Lamborghini Bright Yellow.
Here is a picture of the case:  Can anyone provide any advice before I go on this journey. I belive that the first step is to get the Cooler Master ATX-210, then replace the blue glass with clear. Then do paint research. Because I don't have all the money now I will do the paint research today. Can anyone here give me some advice about the paint? Thanks. |

I've heard the Plasti-kote brand works well for PCs. Otherwise, if you have a paintgun, you can't go wrong with PPG automotive paint. Some paint stores even have the pro paint they can mix up, and put into a spray can for ease of use. So you can get the high-quality stuff, with the convinience of a spray can.

You might ask around at your local auto paint shops, you might find someone that would do it professionally for a reasonable price.
Spray paint is ok, but it scratches easily, and it is hard to get a good coat if you aren't careful, especially with the "glossy" stuff. |

Hi Krono,
Check out ColorCases, that have one called PhatCase that almost has that exact glass. http://www.colorcases.com/cases/cases.html As for the paint job, this is the best paint guide I've seen. http://www.pc-workshop.net/articles/...int101-1.shtml http://www.pc-workshop.net/articles/...int102-1.shtml This guide is pretty detailed as well. http://www.hardocp.com/articles/casemod101/part3/ Hope that helps. |

Good luck on the project, make sure to post some pictures when it's done. I'd really be interested in doing something similar, maybe red though.
