Somewhat Failed Attempt at PSU Cover

So this morning I woke up knowing I had nothing to do all day, so why not make a simple PSU cover I though? It is quite literally just a 10 & 1/4" by 10" sheet of metal bent 4" up. So I did just that, with some help from my brother, and Plasti-Dipped it Black, and also horribly failed to paint a blue strip on top. It's not as good as I thought it would turn out, but it's ok for a first try I guess. I need something better to bend the sheet metal with, since I used an old rusty vice with a rubber mallet. But maybe revision 2 will be near perfect. Sorry for the shitty pictures, I took them with an old Galaxy S4, hoping that the 13MP camera would be better than my Nexus 5's 8MP, but I guess not, or the lighting was horrible, IDK.

It's not bad, at all, just needs to be longer.

Yes, I originally intended to just cover up the cable area and not the power supply, but then once I put it in I realized that it looks pretty ugly, so next time it will cover up the entire PSU. But like Linus said, it's definitely a 10-Foot-Project.

Possibly make a cutout for an LED plate..? :D

I forgot to put something soft between the sheet metal and the vice, big mistake, so it resulted in the vice making those marks.
