    Love y'all's cases!!! Seriously.

    I'm planning on to get this case very likely. But I'd like to know if the front mesh is aluminum or plastic? I'm planning on actually painting only the front mesh lime green. I'm wondering if Lime Green spray paint is actually available? I have looked in WalMart and only came across forest green Krylon for plastic. Is it alright to use this? Do I also need to use primer on the mesh before I paint it?

    I also plan on painting on the inside completely black as well. With the green light fans. Use primer this part for sure, right?


    I currently have Aluminus with dark blue painted on the inside. I'm loving what i Have done to this, but the paintjob is just too amateur. Now needing new case is just because of the door in front panel, they're just too simply annoying.

    Thanks in advance!!

    The mesh is metal. For the paints, you'll probably want to try a hobbyshop or craft store for a better selection.

    Michaels would be a good craft store to check. While your there, you may want to pickup one of these:

    They're perfect for heatshrink tubing.

    As far as hobbyshops go, it depends on your area, HobbyTown is one national franchise. They carrying products for static and remote control models, etc. If you're big into painting, you might want to consider an inexpensive airbrush so you can custom mix your own colors. The nice thing about airbrushes is the larger the subject, less expensive the tools needs to be.

    No worries now I got the color I want. But what you have just said is my future reference if I needed it.

    I already got presleeved HX520 Corsair. I already have everything I need. :P

    I'll post here once I'm done.

    What about the USB and 1394 wires? Is your CPU fan cable sleeved. How about the Power/Reset switch wires? For the love of God, man! No NAKED wires!!!
