    Getting ready for the next build, decided to paint the case and mod it to show off the windowed Raptors. All paint was sanded between color and clear coats and rubbed out with 3m lite cut compound and finished with Maguiars glaze. Left the anodized black side panels stock. The paint has turned out to be durable installing the hard drive cage etc.. Still use cut plastic sliders (those used to protect carpet when painting moldings) when installing bay components. Modded a front bay window and the hard drive cage. Will put in side window fans once the final build is done.
    This is the result so far:

    Thanks. Got the hang of painting towards the end as the last pieces needed little sanding and rubbing out to get the final gloss. Think the hardest part was filling in the rivits on the hard drive cage and smoothing that out.

    Yeah really like the carpet. you have good taste!!!
