Well I got sick of my computer case after 2 years and I decided to start playing with it 2 weeks ago. I will leave you guys with some pics and you let me know what you think.

BEFORE:

AFTER:

I'm not some military guy or anything but I saw some paint jobs and thought the camo theme would be sweet on the case. I love the way it came out and it is so fresh now. The paint was a bit bitchin hard work that took a couple of days but I think it was worth it.

Let me know what you think.

The work by itself is amazing, takes talent, I can tell.

Then again, it's just a PC case, and I already get annoyed by the single HD activity LED blinking. Yours would be overkill.

If it you colored the whole thing brown before adding the black it'd look like something out of a derelict futuristic FPS.

Thanks guys! To clarify the bad picture that is not black but it is actually brown (the black illusion), green, and tan. I don't really dig the lights myself but I bought the case 2 years ago and really liked it than. It is a okay case and I like it once again with the paint, its pretty cool I guess.

Yeah that is off, but I am currently routing the air to the right and up through the top of the air from the heatsink fan. I don't know and I havent tried flipping the bracket thing on the amd motherboard to allow me to mount the cooler the other way so I can blow air through the side fan on the left. If anybody knows let me know, please!

Yeah!!! lol you just solved my problem. It came with some brackets which I thought were all LGA 775 brackets but I just checked this 2 other brackets which look like they will fit on this board for that direction. The thing just came with too many different parts that it confused me a little because it can fit on so many sockets, and it comes with no direction to what part is for which one. Anyways thank you very much.

I still don't get why people care so much about the fucking case. You're going to be looking at the monitor, not the computer itself.

maybe people find aesthetically nice things pleasurable to look at every once in a while?

I think it looks pretty sweet, hoping to do some modding on my case but need to find the time and money for tools and stuff.

LoL @ Dalmatian :D

As far as caring, I don't really care how my case looks. I just like messing with shit and its satisfying to me when I see something that I made. The thing is tucked under my desk as it is so I won't be looking at it every day, but I learned alot from the project and it gave me ideas I'll try some other day.

I agree completely...I got the plainest looking case I could find for my computer when I built it...lol.

With a flashy case full of lights and custom mods and paintjobs, you can't really bring people into your room...especially girls. :\

I only bring drunk girls into my room so that shouldn't be a problem.

But really, I didn't put them damn lights on my case, they came with the case which was affordable at the time. I do like a smooth fast computer though since I spend alot of time on it every day for school and work. Most mid and higher level cases come with some LED fans these days and if you want to cool your parts and make them last a long time you need to keep them cold as possible.

+ Show Spoiler +

I actually just put this case on craigslist for sale as I am probably getting a new case thats going on sale tommorow in a local store.
