    Antec 900 Red Paintjob

    I painted my Antec 900 today. It now has Red innards...

    Case stripped as far as it can be without removing the rivets.


    About half way through the first coat


    Note the feet were masked off to keep them A) black and B) from rubbing paint onto my carpet.


    Further into the coating (probably about the 2nd coat)



    Note the slightly orange tinge.... eww...


    To counteract the orange tinge i did a very light coat of black paint, and flecked on more black by not shaking the can prior to painting.

    (it looks a bit orange in this picture, but it isn't really)


    Flecking on the back I/O area.



    Deep red colour has been successfully acheived.


    My motherboard looks brilliant in there.


    Side panel on.



    Other side


    Back I/O panel.


    I also pugged up the large 200mm fan with Red Mesh Tulle.



    And i put some more Tulle on the mesh on the side panel to make it more red.





    So there is still a couple of other things I'm going to do to it. And my computer doesn't look too great when all the BLUE LED fans come on, as it neutralises the colour a hell of a lot. So i'll be replacing them soon.

    What do you guys think?

    Yeah i didn't go overboard on the cable tidying, although i have put cable ties in there now, so it looks better, but i'm getting a new Mobo soon so there's not much point in routing.


    Thanks
