Painted the interior & exterior with automotive paint (black/silver).. Cut out all plastic honeycomb and metal mesh to maximize the air flow and to lessen the noise too.. Installed some rubber channeling for the fan cutouts for a cleaner look .. and a whole lot of patience for cable management ^_^
The way you guys can route wires where you can't see them is far beyond me. It appears the newer cases are designed that way or do you just find holes ? I know my XaserII is almost impossible to hide the wires. =(
registered just to comment on this mod! Love the looks on it ..
Considering the age and cost of the chassis alone.. You made it look like an expensive case.. very elegant looking
Congrats on the build! sleeve the wires (24pin) :P
Like the silver-black contrast. Originally, I was thinking of doing something similar with my TJ09, like painting the fan grills all black and the inside all black with an all black EVGA motherboard.

My 1st vote goes to you paps :)
Cable management is awesome as well as the overall color scheme :)
Cleanliness is superb, I hope you maintain it that way :)
A very outstanding case (Cooler Master 690)! :D
Overall, it is astounding! 10/10

Awesome clean build. I like a man who takes pride in his work! everything about it is clean. Great example of making a popular case your own, and improving on it. It looks sweet. the silver really works. Probably the cleanest looking CM 690 I've seen.I think a lot of people will be copying this.....so 9/10 from me....awesome work :) just an out there thought... does the symbol in your avatar have meaning for you? if so it might look sweet on the case....thanks for comments on my rig :)

Yup that avatar does mean something..
Actually I was wondering for some kind of an artwork/decal or anything artistic to put on the other side panel. I just want something minimalistic.. to maintain the look on the case, still in a brainstorming period.. :)
