looked like this:

frontplate:

front:

back:

the case will have a blank metal look,
sanded down until all the paint is gone
polish it a little
and then a protective lacker , giving it a nice shine

front will be sprayed in silver or gray, or whatever color that fits the metal.

to give u an idea of the 'style', everything will be finished whith these style grils:

i know, but it's just for fancy looks, there will be more then enough airflow
and will only be used on lans, so it can be louder than a normal case
