find yourself a theme to mod your case. also take in mind some of the parts on the case your using to highlight or make better and work with/around that.

you could go with some sore of EVGA/nVidia theme?

Mr. Blue · 4th November 2009, 3:25 PM

Yeah I like that Idea, and I would have plenty of time to do it as I finish school on the 2nd of December, and I am ok without my PC for a few days, as I have my 360 for Gaming and my school Laptop.
Do not know how I would do an EVGA theme, and I do not want a Nvidia theme.

wow you have no creativity what so ever....

what is it exactly you wanna do?

Put lights in and make it all shiny?

Mr. Blue · 4th November 2009, 4:12 PM

I don't have no Creativity, I just do not know what to do, I would Like to make it look a lot better than What it is At the moment, not that it is Ugly. Also My gaming area, is Red(Keyboard, Mouse,Headset LEDs, and Front LED Fan.
That is why it says I NEED IDEAS.

Since you obviously like blue here is what I did to mine

NeRv · 4th November 2009, 4:34 PM

What case do you have? I like to keep things simple, like having realy good cable management, painting the inside of the case all one colour (black) you can put a window in the side of the case, with a light. But I would do a search to see what people have done with the case you have, it will help u alot.

you planning any structural mods or is this merely a lipstic and rouge job?

lipstic and rouge is simple.

strip the case
slap in a window
prime and paint the internals with a nice satin black
prime and paint the externals with a nice metallic or gloss black, don't forget the clear coat or the plastic bits of the 5.25" bay covers.
prime and paint the mesh red, don't forget the clear coat or the mesh bits of the 5.25" bay covers
prime and paint the blue bit of the 5.25" tool-less mounting thingies red
prime and paint any bay devises with red on black or black on red
replace any bay device LEDs with red ones
black and / or red cable sleaveing
paint / change fans to match red / black colour scheme
swap the power and HDD LEDs so it's red for on and blue for HDD activity or replace the blue LED with a red one
slap it all back together useing black or stanles steel pop rivits

Did i miss anything?
