I had a CM Storm scout case and some gold spray paint lying around, so i have done the obvious and painted the case gold (i say that but i havent actually finished). Just by absolute chance most of the hardware in my pc atm is gold. so i this truly will be a golden rig.
 
As well as the paint i am going to put an H100i in too (seeing as that is the only cooler i own i dont really have a choice). I am also going to take the drive cages out as im not going to by using the case on a permanent basis seeing as i put over a year on my current build.

These are some of the parts so far. (and my current rig for a look at the hardware im using. I will put up a separate post for it)  The side panels have are painted. But i still need to wet sand them (any advice on wet sanding would be great).

 

i still need away to get air out of the front fan of the h100i as currently there is a lump of plastic above it. (if anyone that knows what i mean has any iedas or has done it before im struggling a bit on this one)

 

Also im going to pain the rings on the corsair fans gold. should look good

More top bits (the part on the right will need some hole in it somewhere (it is the afore mentioned lump of plastic blocking air from the rad): http://i.imgur.com/sViqyUA.jpg

Having some problems getting the best finish on the paint atm. I'm looking to get mirror finish gold. Any one have any suggestions?

Also I think I might have problems with fitting the h100i in. I'll do it but will take a few more holes.

Sweet... Can't wait to see your bling rig all done.

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.
