Anyone got any good ideas on how to make these horrible looking bits of metal look nice when seen thru a window?
i think i am going to cover mine in etched mirror but i havent decided on what to etch on it yet...or maybe taking old pci or isa cards and covering it so it looked like one big MB in it
I agree , ugly gray metal ... This is what I did ... DB's First Time ... Do You Remember Yours ? http://img69.photobucket.com/albums/v210/DonBeary/
4 intake fans, I feel sorry for you, I bet you have to dust your case a lot. I have 4 intake fans also and man, is there a lot of dust quick. As for the metal on the 5 1/4" bays, I would paint it, or maybe see if I can find a couple old slot A heatshinks, cut them short, and use them as a covering. Maybe EL sheet would work, or EL wire to accent it.
what about getting a uv colde cathode and painting the metal a uv reactive color uv paint here http://www.xoxide.com/paint.html (dont know if its the best price never needed it so never searched for it
you could: a) polish them b) give them a brushed effect c) paint them d) paint them with uv reactive apint e) paint them with normal paint, then with clear nail varnish (uv reactive ) f) as e) but without the paint g) do some artwork on then h) cover them up with a peice of tinted/sanded/painted/artworked perspex
