Case Modding

[AuthorizedDeale]

Acrylic Case, i already tried to get some info about the case last thursday in a little PC SHOP
a couple streets from where i live.
Next tuesday i wil het some more SPECIFICATIONS and the right price.
THe next Specifications i allready know:

Construction: 100% Acrylic case, metal fasteners
All hardware required for construction is included
Case Dimensions: 17in x 8 11/16in x 16 3/4in (H,W,D)
Drive Bays: 4 x 5.25", 7 x 3.5" (2 exposed)
Fan Mounts (fans not included): 5 80mm
Form Factors: Flex-ATX style, ATX, Full Size.
Cloth Gloves (to keep fingerprints off during assembly)
Power Supply Not Included

The shopmanager thinks that the price wil be around the 250€ (= +/- 250$)
And on PCMODS (http://www.pcmods.com/details.asp?ProdID=549) the price is 99.99$
But if there is an scrath on the case (during the shipping) they don't wil payback.

But i hope the case wil be cheaper the the shopmanagers thinks.

Here some pics from other Acrylic Cases with some lights etc...

i've got to say that i'm not really into case modding. my case is aluminium but has a small side panel made of plastic. the only reason i got this one was because it was the only aluminium one i could find.
if you look on the site you posted it says that it is unknown how much emr shielding the case will protect. this basically means that if you put a computer with this case into a room with a tv or radio, the reception on the tv or radio will be rubbish. even with my current case (which only has a small plastic side panel, there is a lot of trouble with reception on tv.
basically, my advice would be to buy an ordinary case and spend the rest of the money either buying broadband or better components for your computer (cpu, ram etc..)

Does anybody know what sort of paint you need (as in spray can paint) to spray a pc case so it doesnt melt the outside? I assume it needs a primer coat and stuff but i remember their was a special sort of spray paint you needed which didnt melt the outside

anybody got any user guides or information?

[AuthorizedDeale]

I don't realy know, go to a paintshop and ask the shopmanager, just ask for paint for on metal (if your case is metal)

This is - sure to be under 250 - no finger-print or scratch issues - i don&#39;t know who thought that this was a good idea

Yoshi at "The Screensavers" sez the Krylon paint specifically formulated for plastic is good. The ads on TV look appealing anyways. No primer, strong adhesion, yada, yada, yada.
Although, a spray-on dye is good for plastic too. At least scratches won&#39;t show.
