Project Black and White
I started painting my Silverstone TJ09 today. Here's the first pic of the reassembly:

That looks really cool, I wouldn't expect plain black and white to look that good.

to tell the truth, the 1st picture left me thinking "this is gonna be ugly"
But after looking at the latest pictures (with the mesh and the rest) I see it look cool.
I really want to see how it develops and the final result! (y)

Cool! Black and white can be awesome if used in the right ways. Are you planning on any lighting or anything?

I was originally going to go all black, but then I saw a can of glossy white I had lying around and went for it. I like the contrast.
For the liquid cooling system, I'm using my own custom coolant that's completely black. I'll definitely be putting some lighting in there to show off the inside of the case.

Cool. What color tubing? If it were me I'd go with a light color lighting theme.

I also have a Silverstone SG03-B, their newest small form factor case. I'm gonna give it the black and white treatment as well. Here's the little beast as of now:

I'm using 1/2" clear tubing that I picked up from Lowe's. I'm gonna go with this lighting kit that I'll pick up from Crazypc.com:

Go ahead! I'd customize that case to death with all sorts of tribals and flowers I'd be able to put on it.

Yeah, I'll have to come up with some sick tribal designs to cover the case. The white front and side meshes wouldn't be enough on the SG03 case.

Here's an update on the case so far:
The motherboard tray was giving me some problems and I need to clean it up a bit. More to be posted later!
