that case is going to have some serious airflow!

it truly is amazing to see what can be done with a little time and some ingenuity

possibly start with hunter green on the bottom, and make the green lighter as you get to the top of the silver. like blend it or something, that might look pretty sweet.

That is an nice idea.(but not in the budget) I remember someone suggested fading the mobo tray on another build and I thought that would look nice also.

shucks! :cry:

if i had some cash flow, id def chip in just to see it...
You need to talk to blkhogan, its his case. When I build my own I dont care if I go without gas or food for a week to try new stuff. (advantage to being a bachelor, lol)

I REALLY enjoy your suggestions (all of you) as I am trying to elevate modding, not just let it stagnate and die out.

I promise to do the faded look on a build.:toast:

I have spent the last day watching paint dry. Here are a couple of shots showing the color.


I found a kind of emerald green metallic and used it for the logo and I/O plate

I love that green! Duplicolor makes some sick paint :rockout:

I painted the side panel of a case I had back in the day with Duplicolor Mirage. It fades between two colors depending on the angle you look at it. That might be a good idea for trim...I think they might have a green/white blend. Lemme double check. That'd probably save some money if he likes it.

Edit: It just so happens that they have a silver/green kit. The green looks a lot lighter, though, and I don't know if it would go well with the green you have already used.



BTW - It looks AMAZING painted.

Ok I am heading to Calif for Easter (back mon.)
Do you guys think I should fade the edge trim piece only or should I paint the front fan grills also a fade of greens?

Thanks DD. Blkhogan mentioned he wanted the top to be the green of the AMD logo and fade to lighter as it goes down.

Looks like it's gonna be a little harder than Mirage for you then.

Where you going in Cali?
