All I can say is you better put some good wheels on that thing, because the way you are going, it is going to be way too heavy to lift. :)

My back is still hurting! :(
The power supply alone weighs more then most Aluminum cases!
When are you starting to work on it, besure to take pictures of your progress. I guess the best advice I can give is to take your time, don`tr get in a hurry, I got in a hurry one time painting my car and I messed up and had to start all over again. BTW, get some horse liniment and let your wife apply it to your back, that should make your back feel better. :)
hehe thanks :) I'll ask her to rub down my back
The case has some small cover plates for the 5.25" bays.. and they are removable.. So I am going to remove about 4 of them and give it a test paint.. I want to see if what color I would like more and how well the color holds against the dark color the case is already...
That is what I am doing tomorrow..
I was looking at modding the front panel from 92mm fans to a set of 120mm fans.. But the width of two of those fans is wider then the case itself... But I'll have to check again...
the exhaust is a single 92mm fan.. I want to cut away the back plate and there is a perfect place for a second fan...
maybe I can mod that front intake bin (below the drive racks) for four 92mm fans :)
Good luck with it, I will be checking back to this thread, from time to time to see how it is progressing.
Thanks..
I am going to need all the help I can get :)
Even my wife said she would help me.. She was looking at me oddly when I cam home with a fat bag of spray paint :)
I have MSN if anyone wants to chat in realtime...

You can just use some sandable primer first. Prime it, sand it down a bit, bam, paint will stick well and stuff.
yup and since your case is of dark color use white primerQuote:

On the color... are you looking for flashy or just nicer than standard? Since it is such a huge case, I would suggest that a darker color would make it not seem like it is taking up the entire room (unless you want that effect!)
I would go with the SCSI hot-swap bay and get some 80pin 15k.3 drives :)
I can get you a modded case that's sweet :D
yeah, that looks good!
Oh? But what is the fun in that? :)Quote:
