I like the blue, but the light green would have to be changed,YUK!

Silver would be nice

Purple isn't bad either

not bad. He has some talent IMO. Looks like some of the airbrushed t-shirts you buy at the mall, watch the guy paint them while you wait. Those guys are really good.

Actually, I had that outfit mod a case for me (Full-sized Inwin Tower) a few years ago ... My case is fairly tame compared to the really fancy airbrush jobs.

I liked the company for a couple of reasons: (1) I was able to speak with the person working on my case on the telephone whenever I thought of another concern; (2) My calls were always taken, and I developed a good rapport with the owners/employees; (3) I sent them paint samples (scanned and attached to email) to show exactly the color I wanted my case to come out and they came remarkably close; (4) my case was delivered on time.

What I did not like: (1)Some of the switches were not lined up evenly (4 toggles controlling 4 x 120mm Panaflo Whisper fans); (2) Some of the wiring inside was foolishly routed which I've since corrected.

All in all, this company did a 7.5 out of 10 job on my case. Getting the mod completed by them saved me a great amount of time + I'm still using the box + it has seen me through 3 different motherboards + I see no reason that it will not see me through several more upgrades. This box would easily house the largest boards (i.e., dual processor server boards), and the air ventilation is outstanding and quiet.

The boxes the company uses changes as the technology improves. I think they just get better with time. As I recall, they will paint your case however you want it painted. So ultimately the choice is your own as to appearance.

The custom airbrushing is beautifull. The basic paint jobs are UGLY AS HELL! (just my oppinion) Maybe if the inside was in lighter colors. I painted my first case flourescent yellow on the inside and put in black lights... very interesting effect. I don't know if I'd do it again though.

The airbrushing is amazing, he is wonderful. I think that the cases in the airbrushed section are fantastic. The inside and out outside painted ones are not ugly, i like the idea, i just don't like the color choices that were made.

I remember hearing a while back that if you paint the entire inside of the case black, you would get better temptures. Is this true?

The custom work is AMAZING...

I just think there were some REALLY bad colour choices with the solid colours!

All that being said, custom modding is, and always has been down to personal choice?! If you're modding your own machine, just do what YOU enjoy...



(BTW I'm no expert, but modding is personal for me - I've been asked to do cases for family and friends, but I've never advertised or anything, cos I want to do my own mods, for my own taste rather than getting asked or told what mods to do for someone else)
