Hello to all. I recently decided that it was about time I did what I always said I wanted to do, which is to mod a case by hand. It's certainly not anything fancy , nor does it have anymore than a color-based theme, but it's made me appreciate the true value of a workshop.
It's pretty much just a basic cut n' paint job. Used a dremel with circle cutter attachment to cut out a hole in the side of the case where a fan can be mounted, and right now I'm in the process of painting the whole thing black. I have been coming to terms with the differences between what I would like to do and what I am physically capable of doing, so let me know if I'm asking for too much in my questions.
In regards to the paint, I decided to try out the glossy black Krylon Fusion. The main attraction for the spray paint is ease of use. I don't really have a work area, so as far as painting goes, I'm a little limited in choices. Bottomline, I sanded the sides of the computer case (which I'm starting to believe was my first mistake), and I've already applied about 4 coats to the sides. However, I'm noticing that there seem to be some spots that reflect more light than others, and I'd like for this to NOT happen. I was thinking that maybe applying the spray-on polyurethane would help...or maybe I just need more coats of the Krylon Fusion.....your thoughts.
The second question I have pertains to adding lights to the inside of the case. Basically I'm just wondering if pink cold cathodes exist...anywhere. I've read the reviews of some red cold cathodes at newegg that are more pinkish than red, but I'd like to go with a sure thing, if it actually exists.
Thanks in advance for any time you can take to offer a reply.
