I recently removed the HDD slides from my cheap Cooler Master case. After the removal I put in a Scythe GT fan in the front and reversed the airflow in my case. In from the front and behind. Out from the sidepanel

Stock coolers - The sound of bare minimum

I tried painting mesh, but how do you prevent bubbles from forming?

Keep the coats light as possible! also i painted outside under the heat of the sun to allow the coats to dry asap....Let me know if you need any help if youre going to try again :)

And if bubbles occur, have toothpicks on standby to poke them out. That's what I did when I painted my Bitfenix Shinobi.

Ahhh the good ole haf 912 i had one of these until i upgraded to the Fractal Define XL R2.  I painted the inside of mine since it wasn't the advanced version and changed the red LED on front to a blue LED to match my color scheme.  Was a great little case.

You should paint the Cooler Master logo to make it stand out a bit

What do you mean thin coats? I used spray paint, if it matters...

Yep, I used a needle

I used spray paint aswell..make sure to use left to right motions and never leave the can on the same spot! leave to dry for 5 mins between layers and build multiple layers up to create a strong finishing colour!

@MulleyUK

Like @Wesley maybe a small accent would look great something like a thin stripe around the logo would look great

im going to wait until the paint has fully hardened then maybe run some sand paper over the cooler master logo :)

It's may be the lights in my build or the picture quality...
