    I'm thinking about painting the inside of my case...yes, the inside. My case is black, and I was thinking about painting the inside black as well. However, I'm wondering if I paint the inside black if it will make everything hard to see. Here are some pics of my pc. what do you guys think? This is the idea I have, but black instead of orange.

    I painted the interior of my case for the express reason to hide everything. That way attention is focused on more important things like my UV reactive cable sleeving, my Jet-4 heatsink and my laser cut fangrills. I painted cd-rom drives, hard drives and the whole interior of the case. It actually looks really nice. I have a fairly small case and am going more for the more mysterious look inside the case with a some strategically place UV reactive things and illuminating fan grills without lighting up the whole case.

    How about a spray enamel the same type that would be used for metal model cars, or planes, or boats, etc.?:)

    do you have anyway to take a picture of it? I'd like to see what it looks like. I will attach a picture of mine. I've got chrome sleeving, and chrome rounded cables, and an LED fan, and I don't want to lose the viewability of what I do have.

    Hey guys! I have been airbrushing for over 20 years and have a suggestion. acejones, instead of painting the inside of your case black as well pick another accent color, If the attachment of the computer in this post is yours, the orange is an awesome accent, consider painting the interior orange as well or a complimentary color of orange which would be blue, what ever shade you choose but I wouldnt go to dark. I would also purchase a scotchbrite pad found at home depo and scuff the inside of the case so that the paint adheres to the surface, also get a tack cloth to pick up all debris afterwards and blow it out with air if possible before painting. If youguys would like to see some of my work you can go to www.angelfire.com/tn/darinwheeler....sorry for the pop ups! good luck guys!
