    What parts of the case do you want to coat?

    What parts DON'T I want to coat. I want to do the inside cherry red and the outside piano black. Gonna name it the Devil's Apple or something cool like that.

    Oh, pshaw.

    I assumed you were just being ironically hipsterish, subtly mocking the kind of person who would consider really doing it and simultaneously wishing you were that person.
    I think I saw something like that on Dr. Phil.

    I assure you, my heart rate was no more erratic than normal.
    If anything, maybe even more stable than usual...but, I've been having battery issues, so it's hard to say.

    I just know you hate too much bling on a PC. Also I'm going to cut a window in it. I got a water jet guy priced at about $60 already. Do you know if It should be cut first or painted?

    Seems logical to cut first, then paint.

    Yeah I realized that right after I posted but was outside. I'm over thinking again.

    Honestly I may even air cool this thing as you suggested. I could save a few bucks as I think I want to save up and get one of those i7 systems soon.

    I really think air should remain on the table at least until you get the main components in place.
    What initially looks like a relatively spacious case gets crowded quickly due to the weird placement of the PSU and drives.

    My inside sources (OK, my pal who works in a computer store) tell me that i7 doesn't provide much-if any- performance jump from a higher end 775 platform.
    He recommends waiting till something more compelling comes out.

    me too... I love case modding and messing with an apple case must be cool

    but... do you really need to cut a window on it?
