    Well, I decided to paint, cut and duct! bwahaha
    Erm, well anyways... when I put the window in, I lost the intake fan on the side... (I've never cut a circle and I don't want to try it!) so I had to put a duct from the rear(intake :p) fan, to the CPU hsf

    Wow, that duct is ugly lol. Seriously, ducts make cases look really ugly, I would suggest getting rit of it and just getting a better HSF if you need it.

    meh, I know... I need to get a new hsf, it's a stock 2500+ hs right now, sometime soon I hope to get a Falconrock and some cathodes :p

    BTW - I've tried cleaning up the wires but I'm poor ;) I have no money for a sleeving kit/plain sleeving.

    Another thing: I Know.. the drives are ugly... I'll try to do something with the floppy drive (paint it black or something to match the other two)

    MAJOR IMPROVEMENT!!! That paint looks amazing in the pics and in real life (my aunt has her bathroom painted like that). Looks good on a case, not in a bathroom.

    Lol yea, it does look great IRL, the pic makes it look kinda crappy looking (*grunts at his cheap pencam*) I bought two different bottles, one first... that I ran out of shortly after painting just the left/right/top panel, and the second one (PLASTI-KOTE - WAY BETTER) after the first ran out... it was MUCH MUCH better than the first can, sprayed on better, dried faster/better, it just looks better in general!
