To view this case mod, go here.



Specs:
AMD fx 60, 4 gigs ram, ultra x3 1000 watt power supply.
2 xfx 7900 video cards, wd raptor hd, windows xp pro x64sp2 and vista home premium.

Mods:
Painted the case in automotive paint, used a base coat clear coat system. The black is a 08 viper color and the silver is a 08 vet color. Air brushed the silver fade. Then added a coat of coarse metal flake covered with 2 coats of clear.Then tried my hand at cable management...have a lot to learn in that department...

Will probably upgrade this summer with new video cards and an intel quad-core processor. Also, maybe a new case antec 1200?

I voted 10/10 because:

Excellent paint job, I have to admit voters on TPU are very harsh in contrast to before.

Ive been waiting for so long for the 1200 that I am giving up, Im buying my gigabyte case tommorow :( I wanted the 1200 so bad, I loved my 900.

But on your case, I really like the case, I think you did a great job!
