I don't know why I like white cases better but I just think the 540 looks better in black kind of like a Dodge Charger is what I can a liken to the case. The other colors look ok but black is definitely the best imo.

Personally would just go with the regular Air 540 unless you want to get those watercooling parts since the bundle doesn't offer any discount.

I think you would have to pay for the coating (scroll down in the link and find Select Internal Powder Coat Color) and $299.99 imo isn't worth to paint your case.
