Finished my CM690 mod / paint job


Taking tips from everywhere I did a little of everything I liked best from other mods.

That's enough talk, lets see pictures!



Cut out honeycomb:





Cut out a nice window:






Painted EVERYTHING flat black!!





Cut out top metal honeycomb as well.




The Workstation:






Final Product: ( I need some power extension cables and a new video card to really complete the project )

When I saw the inside of your case painted black I knew I had to do that too. It looks so good like that.

I just used that exact piece of Plexi to make a new window for my HAF932 since the original one was cracked, case was brand new though so got it for a good price . I like the new plexi better then the stock one, it's so clear. I just copied the original one and re-used the plastic rivets.

Nice job man, case looks great

Yep, it is some good stuff. It looks like there is nothing even there sometimes
