Empty case, tape over air holes, place open paint can inside case, replace panel, shake vigourously.

Lol, i gotta try that paint can in the case thing!
Seriously though, rip it down to the frame, and paint away. I used to run one of my old comps without a case cover, so I just painted the frame, it was really cool!
While we are on the subject, what color should I paint the inside of my new case (Red 1030 with red ccfl) I was kind of thinking a nice color like black, but that's too plain.
Edit: Clear coat may be a good idea, the interior isnt generally a high-traffic areea, one drive placed in wrong can put a biig scrape in your nice looking interior

I got a few battle scars, I never bothered with clearcoat. Id recommend it. I personally just cover the scratches with little toy aquatic animals Aaaah, a stingray swimming across my video card!

Humm, you got the same MSI GF3 packaging I have then?Annoyingrob said:
I am trying to think of the name of this stuff I saw a good few years ago. It's like this liquid plastic, it's translucent, you were meant to dip things in it to coat them as a craft thing. I was just thinking, you could polish up the metal then apply that (Probably with a roller and leave surfaces flat to dry smooth) and it would look pretty cool.

Oh, an antiqued copper look might look good on the right case, you can do that by rubbing the clean metal down with strong copper sulphate solution on a swab. I think.
