Project: mini patriot

Goal: turn a trashed HP mATX case into a patriotic beauty, while spending no more than $6.50 USD.

the plan: pearly white interior, red panels, blue top, plexiglass window.

its done, and is now up for sale!

what i ended out doing:
removed all of the useless parts that comes with a HP case, cleaned, disassembled, hosed down, blow dried, primed each metal part separate, than painted the plastic parts, than spray painted the primed metal, than finally re-assembled, shot tons of pics, and is now sitting on my desk waiting to have a beastly mATX rig in it!
