Like it? I stole the case from my brother's crappy old Compaq SR1520NX. Used a lot of painters tape to create a grid, then used an exacto-knife to carefully cut out squares to form this checkered pattern. I then proceeded to spray indiscriminantly over the patterned painters tape. This was the result. To finish it off, I used painters tape again to section off a part of the gray front-panel frame and used some leftover black spraypaint I had in my garage. Other minor modification: I drilled new holes for thumb screws as the original one is complete crap. I have more photos if you want.
Thanks! Yeah there are so many just laying around in this house and they're MicroATX, so they're still perfectly usable, so I figured, why not have some fun!
They keep hardware suprisingly cool as well. It keeps the hardware in my sig cool with a single 92mm exhaust fan
Window, entirely new drive rack 90 degrees to what it is currently(to suit 2.5" drives), entirely new faceplate w/out holes in clear+smoked acrylic, full paintjob, sleeving, mobo and gpu covers, and maybe a secret or 3 ideas I have planned
