Duuude that looks like a professional paint job.. Nice work :)
I wish I could paint my case and mod some more, but that'd mean I'd have to take off my huge Asus trintin 78 heatsink to get the mobo screws out :(.

You going to cut holes in the top for an output fan?
 
Yes, definitely better than gray, but it really does look great.

I should have painted the inside of my HAF, but at the time I could not wait to get it together. :D

Its not, trust me. There are several places where the paint ran, 2 I think. But you can see them one is on the bottom inside the case, and is on the other side where you will never see it :)

i don't know if I should cut a hole or not. I know it would look sick, but I don't trust myself to get it right, having a ROUND circle, or centered properly :o

the make hole-saw kits for metal work man look into that if you got 20 bucks laying around.
 
Well.. Let me give you a little secret.... (sshhhh)
If you put a 120mm fan on it the top, just use a CD and trace around it. A CD is a perfect match for a 120mm fan :D

make-hole kits lol....well we have one, but not 80mm...also I don't have $20 laying around after spendning almost $400. :( thanks anyway tho.
 
Looks great,If i was you...id cut out the two exhaust fan panels at the back and add one of these....the ones on your case look very restricting.

That red looks pretty wicked I'll give you that:good:
As Nev said you should use a grill for the fans as they let more air through, but they do trap less dust on the grill and more inside the system.

Still looks good:good:
 
Great job man! All it needs now is a CM V8 cooler to throw that extra touch on there (please get rid of that stock heatsink haha)
 
Thanks guys! Well, I flat out of money, so I can't buy any grills. I will take one off of my old PSU, maybe. However, I will drill bigger holes through the existing ones, that should work good. Also, buying a heatsink ain't happening right now :P

Yea drilling more/bigger whole should look good, if you got any spare/broken PSU's lying around then they might have some grills, if not then you could find some some other way.
