Hey guys, i wanted to buy my son a new computer for his B-Day and I've always wanted to mod one so i decided to start now. The case is an Antec 300 and a lot of goodies are coming later. Here are some picture of my paint progress. They are a few days behind as i painted the parts that aren't yellow black. Check it out, and let me know what you think.

Box o goodies .....

I modded this power supply using some of mcpctech's diamond plate wrap. The grills are now yellow on this...

Looks like you're off to a good start! Are you planning more yellow for the case? I saw a couple spots where primer is showing through. Also, why not paint the drive bays?

Awesome start! and great photos too

Thanks... I put on like 3 more coats of yellow after those pictures where taken so it looks better. I also painted the parts that are still primered in the pictures flat black. I have a couple more coats of black to do tonight and then i'll let it sit for a few days... I ordered the motherboard yesterday from newegg. Should be here today.

Thanks... yeah the drive bays, back, front and left side are going to be black. They actually are black already i just haven't taken pictures yet. I ran out of flat black paint last night when i painted them so I'm going to get some on the way home and finish the paint up tonight... Probably have some more pictures up tomorrow when it dries up.

cool! did you strip out the bays? can't wait to see the pics, also sorry for all the "great" in my last post, I edited but didn't realize what did I write before, I feel like a teenager (lol) all is great!

anyway, what are you going to do with the shadow of the autobot ?

This is going to be fun to watch. My daughter want's an Iron Man Theme case. So that will be my next project.

I eagerly await your updates.
