Hey Guys,

I would like everyone to give me there ideas one what parts to buy what colour to spray things and so on so please leave comments below. 

 

Step One: I took apart the case and took it outside to get ready for spray painting:

Step 2: Paint the parts as best i can (not very well) They are currently drying in the garage so ill post pictures once the case is together.

You can get them for certain EVGA power supplies too.

Although everyone says that these RM PSUs are low quality, the guy i bought it off said that he had been using it for over a year with no trouble. I've been using it for just over a month now and it is such an improvement from my old power supply! It's extremely quiet - the fan hasn't turned itself on once! Definitely recommend it

You should see if you can get a quote from a company to laser etch the joker onto one of the side panels :P
