    Not sure of colours yet,might stick with the blue fans in the front and the top and go with green for the inside with some white acrylic ???,also the door will be switched to open other way
    This will be a slow build so please be patient with me.

    So this is where you went! Real world modding? You traitor! -Get yer butt back in the SU contest!:hehe:

    Green plexi under all the MNPCtech stuff would look good. -Just like a gasket layer so you only have a thin strip of green.

    Nice one Cheapskate :hehe:
    Small update,not much.
    Case gets naked:blush:
    [​IMG]
    Added wheels and rear fan grill
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    Added some paper to see if it would look ok if i was to add some white acrylic inside,also tried out the rad,its a bit tight but dont look to bad.
    The reason for the acrylic is i dont have the bottle to spray the whole chassis white,which would of looked much better

    Mmm...nice looking gear. I'll keep on watching!
    Seems white is all the rave nowadays. Where are you going to get white acrylic? I was planning to vinyl dye or paint mine.

    White acryl is nice as if you get bored of it, you can always backlight it in any color you want with some CCFLs... I used white acryl in my last build, painted a text on the background and lit it up with green CCFL, I reckon it looked nice :)

    I wish I would have gotten the PC-P60 versus the PC-P80. The P80 is unnecessarily huge for my ATX board. I was thinking "bigger is better" when I bought it, but I have half a case left over, even with water cooling and eight hard drives. :sigh:

    Anyway, yes, there is no better color combination than black with white. White being the absence of color, while black being the mixture of every color, I can't wait to see how it turns out. This is giving me a big craving to mod my P80.
