Corsair 230T White?

[DaCoder]

I need a new case, the K70 looks great, save the annoying buttons on the front. So I went into Fry's today to ask for a K70 (i went to 4 different stores. All sold out, had to pick up a display version.... with the annoying keycaps on it), and lo-and-behold I saw a 230T from Corsair.

 

It is in my price range, made very well, and can fit my setup.

 

One problem: not coming in white.

 

Here is my question: what would it take to buy the Grey version, and paint it white?

Anyone here done this before?

 

And: what i already know about painting: sandpaper off old paint: put on primer, then paint (x2 coats).

 

Thanks for reading.

I'd say just buy the C70, because it's more trouble to paint a case then you would think.

It is just the panels on the sides and the top too, here is a picture of the areas i need to paint:

 

^ where ever it is grey would be white.

 

I like this look more than the C70 tbh.

If you're willing to put in the work go ahead.

500r arctic is nice and cheap w/ rebate. White on black. Consider

It is above 80, and that is the only budget i have sadly. It looks good aswell.

Ah nice, i saw this case aswell. But the panel that the wiring should fit inside of has no metal lockdown sliders. (the tabs that hold the sliding panel on the case) 

 

I saw this one in person at microcenter.

I went with the C70, handles and ruggedness are good. The Arctic Edition fixes the annoying power switches. Thanks you guys.

 

UPDATE: The C70 was damaged on arrival, I returned it. And since I had some paint leftover from my car painting practice. I painted a 230t. Here is the link:  http://youtu.be/B3Bhju0ne_o
