This has turned out very well indeed, the paint looks amazing and so does the cable management. Congratz on your MOTM nomination and good luck.

 

I came across this thanks to the MOTM thread and I am FLOORED.
Amazing mod, amazing paint, just an amazing job there!

 

I was planning a blue glow like this for my H2O-C7 project. I even tried a few things. Now I have determined that I SUCK!

This is just awesome. very nice balance between the top and the bottom.

I'll need to sign a "Do Not Compete" agreement.
