Fun little mod ideas

BonKerz · 06-23-2008, 03:45 PM

I was sitting around today, and I was thinking, what little tweaks and mods could I do to my computer case to make it look cooler. One of my ideas was to spray paint the inside of my case with a black matte finish. Would it be a bad idea to spray paint the inside of a case? (with all of the parts out of course)

i painted the inside of my case and it is beauitful. i used a gloss black spray paint notthing was damaged as long as you strip the case down to nothing even taking the front pannel. also adding some cathodes will make it look nice

alot of people paint the inside w/ flat black. I think it always looks good. I prefer flat over a glossy finish

i painted mine yellow.

i went for white on the inside of mine and i think it looks a lot better then black. but thats my opinion. also i did a lot of extra mod work, but painting in general can make it look a lot better.

What other mods have you done?

Peter.Cort · 06-23-2008, 07:34 PM

i cut some fan holes, cut out some stuff on the side (lettering and a design), a pretty nice paint job and lots of lighting.

A nice and simple mod is to cut a blowhole so you can flip your PSU. That way it uses exterior air (keeping it cooler and more stable).
