I'm trying to find a link for case painting. I can't for the life of me remember where I found the link or how the heck I stumbled on this particular page but it might have been in here somewhere. I've tried a search but was unable to find it. It might have been at just one of those tweak sites but no luck with the ones I could remember. I've tried searching on google also but no luck with the specific page. The guy managed to paint his case black and it had a mirror finish. I've search on google for computer case painting mirror finish and all different things in between but haven't managed to find that one page. Was a multipage article with lots of pictures and all but like I said still haven't found it. Just wondering if anyone else has a clue. I'm trying to find one specific one.

There are a couple of threads here that deal with obtaining a "mirror" finish. Here is one. (http://forums.overclockers.ws/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=31846)
There's more if you look back far enough.

Already seen that one. It's not a discussion on here. It was a link to a webpage with a how-to. I thought I might have seen it on here but then again it I might have just been surfing. I wrote it down but lost the link. Oh well.
On a side note I just killed my Geforce2 GTS card. Had lapped it a few times with no problems but just couldn't resist the urge to do what everyone else had managed to do and take it down to the copper. Had previously spent over 20hrs trying to get to the copper and hadn't done it. Still didn't get to the copper this time but noticed it was getting to low for comfort so stopped. Put the card in and didn't work. Damn. I really didn't have the money to trash something like that but just shows my stupidity.
We all live we laern we have all made mistakes, tis not stupidity but the oldest school in the books that teaches us all,... the school of Hard knocks.
Sometimes doing the wrong thing is the best teacher in the world.

Sorry to hear about the loss =(

Well the trashed card does give me a few chances to do somethings. One I can go ahead and lap away like crazy at it just to see how freakin far down that copper was. It's also an excuse to get and better video card. And while waiting for that video card I can go ahead and take everything out of the case and cut that big exhaust hole in the top of the case and if I can ever find the link I've been looking for I can go ahead and paint at least the top of the case. Oh well.

Well managed to find the link eventually. Already started on painting the top part of my case so I think I'll try this technique for the sides of my case. Hopefully I can do it.
