Freezer7Pro: I don't come here a lot anymore.; +1,447|6197|Winland

Ever since I got this case, I've been happy with it's white colour, but, as the years go by, it's faded beige/yellow, and has got a couple of nasty scratches, so I'm thinking of re-painting it completely. Here's what we're looking at:

https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb8/Freezer7Pro/IMG_0154-2.jpg

There are a bunch of LEDs above the grey net in front, they're blue. There's gonna come a net in the large hole in the side panel, too, as soon as I have time to fix it.

I'm thinking of spraying everything black, except from the front net, which would remain silver, and I'd spray the area behind it silver, too.

Any thoughts/suggestions? Shoops of the pic are welcome I might spray on some graphics, if I get something nice that's easy to cut out or paint. I know my case isn't some über P182 or Antec 900, but I love my case, it's got good airflow (three 120mm fans), it's compact, light, and it's super-moddable. So, no "omfg get a new case u fgt" replies, kthx.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

What you said seems like the best option to me, Matte black and Blue lights always looks good, that or Red lights but that's more work and finding good quality gear in red can be a pain.

You painting the interior too?

Nah, not planning on doing the interior. This case is so compact (30cm from rear to 5.25" cage, Gemin covering most), that it's not really neccesary.

Paint It Black is one of the greatest songs ever written, go find it on youtube and have a listen, I'd link you but this PC is too depressingly shite to go hunting around on Youtube.

Ah yes, hearing the first few seconds I recognized the song. I'm terrible at remembering song titles

Why waste your money on spray paint and time on a case that is probably on its last legs, when I'm sure you can get a nice new case for not that much..

A decent case is 100€

A can of black spray paint is 5€.

Plus, I love my case. It's not huge, like most of the cases you buy, it's just large enough to fit my Gemin, and very wide.
