yeah it does

But I like the brushed steel idea better than bondo idea + I know I can do the brushed steel and make it look good

New update, nothing big really.

But I spent the last 2 days sanding/polishing the case to make it look industrial (it will be in my workshop).

I sanded the front, the top, and the sides with 100 grit metal sandpaper. I then sanded everything you will be able to see in the case that is metal w/ 100gt. And then the drive bays w/ 100gt. Here are teh pics.

front^

side(s)^

inside sanding^

Front with drive bay's in^

pwnage after sanding that much^

All I really have left to do is put the acrlyic windows in w/ the trim and put the parts in (that i still have to find money to buy

), line it up and polish everything, add some fans,ccfl's etc..

I've been thinking about it, and I'm thinking of painting the bare metal case gloss black, and leaving the inside shiny, like my original plan, but w/o the plastic sides/front. What do you think? And can anyone point me to a good painting tutorial?
