So, I have a current black/white build, and am considering upgrading to the lian li pc08. BUT!! I've heard about black 2.0, the blackest black paint. And so... what do you guys think about painting the lian li pc08 with black 2.0, and having a black/white build on it? Is too much black a bad thing? Opinions?

You're asking a very subjective question. I would go to Lowes and check the paints to find the "right" paint scheme.

Not sure how well the stuff lays out as it's a brush paint type but it may look unique, you will most likely need to prime the metal case though for it to properly adhere.

Hmm.. I took a visit but wasn't able to really see a sample. They only gave out colour slips.

Thanks. I am aware about priming the case. I just wanted an opinion whether white accents would really stand out against a pure black colour scheme.

Yeah with that black color I think anything would stand out pretty well. :)
