    I haven't done much modding this year, but yesterday I did manage to spray-paint my logo on the side of my computer case:

    The picture came out blurry, but I can assure the edges of the logo are crisp, and to my surprise, when I placed a coke can on the panel after drying, the newly painted portion was just as reflective as the paint job from the factory! I still may repaint the whole case with a custom theme (still using my logo), but for now, this looks mighty nice!

    I made the stensil myself from a thin layer of sticky foam using a vinyl plotter, and based on the success I may sell paint stensils for modding in the future... but I won't pimp the site here.... yet...

    From start to finish, the project took about 30 minutes plus drying time, great for the modder on the go!

    whacha think?

    Looks nice. Painting is always a PITA for me.

    Yeah, doryakov, I agree. I do want something simple, because it is a business computer, but grey and silver are a little too dull, I'll probably switch to a solid black case with a light-blue logo, potentially a gradient from white to light blue, since that's the color scheme I'm going for on the company logo.

    unfortunately the scratches on that side of the case are super-noticable now, so I'm almost forced to repaint the case, but that's a huge project, and thus, a huge PITA, so I'll probably procrastonate on that for a while.
