    Take 1 Antec Plusview 1000 AMG and make it look better...

    Not really done much so far spent yesterday painting my drives and i changed the power and hdd leds a few weeks ago here are some pics but im all outa ideas of what to do with it?

    [​IMG]

    Painted Drives Satin Black (Camera flash kinda makes em look shoddy)

    [​IMG]

    [Note power and hdd led]

    I also got some new toys today from ebuyer

    [​IMG]

    2 LED fans and a cheap (and nasty looking) fan controller which im affraid will have to have some modification ;)

    Im not really sure what to do with the rest of the case but im considering replaceing the window with some plain plexi and loosing the fan for a more smooth look :)

    Swap the side window out for one without a fan, either plexi the psu with silver or black tinted plexi, or paint it. Get some kinda design on the top!! And light the sucker up to the point of "blinding".

    If you are going to change the plexi window than also change the screws to a color "opposite" of the case color (black case, silver..white screws..something lighter, Lighter case...keep the dark screws)
    Yeah and mos def go with the lighting the beast up!!!!
    Looks great not so keen on the store bought fans that are colored (never have been) but looks good!!!!!!

    Painted the fan controller and put the glowy rings behind rather than on the front i just need to drill some more holes in it because it has to be inset to line up with the case holes :(

    thats sounding alot like my first mod which im about to start :lol:
    ive just bought that case and those fans from ebuyer.. my fans havnt arrived yet so are they any good. also i was going to get the bay bus... i like the glow rings very nice would be keen to know how you did that (chris@featherweights.org) :) sounds good and will look good when its blinging bright.
    good luck

    The baybus had them blue glowings rings to start with if u look in the first picture the plastic bits arround the knobs glow (isnt on in the pic) but i ripped them out and fitted them flush behind rather than overlapping on the front like that.

    Its a 550w q-tec far too loud for my liking :( Gonna replace it soon i think. And the fans are from ebuyer about £1.50 each and are pretty quiet :)
