What colors to paint a pc case.

So i have an old Compaq pc case laying around that i have decided to try to do my first case mod to. I have already gotten the front panel off because it was so ugly and i have also cut out a window on the side. I already painted the front, back, and inside all black. But i am now looking for another color to do a 1"-2" thick outline around the left panel, right panel, and the top. On the inside of the outline i think i am going to do black (i am open to suggestion on that too), but since i don't want to make the entire case black i don't know what color to do the outline with. I want something that inst typically used a lot but still looks good. What colors would you guys suggest? Also would you guys even do an outline, should i just make the left panel, right panel, and top all one color? Thanks a lot!

This is the case that i am doing:
