I honestly don't like the colour white in general, but that is a pretty damn sexy machine.

Thanks for all the positive feedback. There really isn't any radical mods on this case, just painting.

Although, once school starts in September I might be able to use the water jet to cut the Morrowind Dragon logo on the front panel.

The front panel is a solid layer of metal, with a solid layer of black plastic behind it, so I figured cutting it out in the metal will leave a cool embossed black dragon look to the case...

 

However, I may also cut away the black plastic and replace it with black mesh.

I hope that Snow Leopard is just the name of the build, and not a meaning as to what operating system you are running. Haha, all in all nice work.

There are 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't.

Just some helpful stuff: You're - You are, Your - Your car, They're - They are, Their - Their car, There - Over there.

What paint did you use on the components

 

 

Awesome GPU. Please tell me that isn't PlastiDip. Seen enough of that here recently.

I used high heat engine enamel on the radiator. The GPU shroud was painted with Vinyl Paint.
