TCPMeta MacModder Registered: 11/15/07 Posts: 1797 Loc: Florida, USA	My 2000 Intrepid has a color scheme of red, black and chrome. Since im still stuck with a PC for the moment I thought I would atlest make the temp case look like under the hood. I'm going to leave the handles clear. _________________________ To live is to let die

TCPMeta MacModder Registered: 11/15/07 Posts: 1797 Loc: Florida, USA	All whats left is to wet sand it with 2,000 grit sandpaper and it's good to go. For the inside of the case im going to use the color scheme aswell. Paint drive cages black, use chrome wireloom and red cables.

TCPMeta MacModder Registered: 11/15/07 Posts: 1797 Loc: Florida, USA	The case is almost done. I got the outside finished. I wet sanded it and use some carnauba wax to give it a nice gloss look. I also went ahead and took off the middle shelf inside the case for more room. _________________________ To live is to let die

TCPMeta MacModder Registered: 11/15/07 Posts: 1797 Loc: Florida, USA	I went ahead and put in the inside pieces. I used engine enamel on the hard drive brackets. Look how glossy it is with out primer or sanding. I washed the parts in my dishwasher then painted them. _________________________ To live is to let die
