I like it. Sure it looks to the undiscerning like a shoddy job, but even the components are painted! Not only is the color scheme awesome. The work looks pretty damn pro.
A budget case mod. Kind of showing that u can do something radical, without spending alot of money.

Yep... Pollock is the first thing that came to mind when I saw the pictures... It does look amazing... And seemingly so simple to achieve: 1. Empty case out. 2. Take case outside. 3. Drop can full of paint from 6 feet in the air next to case. 3.a. Repeat 3 with multiple colors. 4. Let case dry. Done...
^ And the most important part that most people forget: Stick to a color scheme. This one is done well. You have only two colors and black and white neutrals.
haha yea, having only 4 main colors made it difficult finding the right parts, but then I stumbled on the Xigmatek Fans. Which worked great. Thanks for the great comments. Ikem

I just thought of another way of achieving this effect... 1. Take case outside. 2. Call your dog -> Preferrably a shelty or a collie (long haired dogs) 3. Dip dog in paint 4. Watch Fido do his dance next to the case... Rinse and repeat for each color... You may get a much better color dispersion this way... On the other hand; PETA might have a thing or two to say about your treatment of Fido.
