I think it would look better black...
Although Red would look awesome IMO.
Talking about the mesh right?

Red is a good alt to black. You could also try gray or white. I would also work on some of that mesh more. The vert piece by the drive bays has many buckles.

Definitely black. IMO, of course, and tastes as well - Having it match the rest of your case, then the mesh - would make it kind of an illusion. I have always considered mesh to be kind of a tease, cause you can see through it, but adds a nice feature.
So.. if the color matches the cases color, it would flow very well.
Not sure if I described that well enough!

Right now I think black will look best. I also might have to paint the ODDs.. It would look pretty sweet if they were black too..:D

Black or red....either or I think would look awesome.... love the cage effect though, looks pretty slick. UPDATE: Here are a few rough and quick photoshops for you if you were wondering about the paint scheme.... As always you results may vary  Keep us posted

Those fans on the drive bays pushing in or out?
I guess I'd have to see the side panel, just noticed those 2 fans.

I need some time to think about it.. Red or 13lack? I also have some white cathodes I need to install.. will they look best with Red or 13lack mesh? Sure I'll take lots of pictures.. Only problem is that I got a crappish camera. It is either that one or my Iphone 3GS..?

Red, White, or Black will look good IMO. I like the idea very much. Very innovative approach. Can't wait to see what you decide on.

I think Ill pause folding a few hrs today to install the cathodes.. I will not paint today. Im still not certain on which colour I should go with.. No doubt Red is cool but im not sure that Ill be satisfied with it a year from now.. 13lack is more "neutral" on that matter.. It doesn't differentiate as much as the red does... I hope this makes sense..
I might be trying both colours.. but it's gonna take some time to cut and bend the mesh.. (i've plenty of mesh to try two colours). It will be easier to make a decision so I dont have to cut and bend again though.

I was about to suggest doing all three colors; dependent naturally on how hard it is to get the mesh on and off. You could also go with the color of your choice for now and then repaint to a different one later on. No matter what you choose I think it's going to look sweet; especially with the cathodes. I'm liking this more and more. Very nice idea.

Thank you! Im glad you like it..  I have to admit that Im leaning more and more to paint it 13lack. I can always repaint it if it looks like ****. Im going to install the cathodes probably today or tomorrow. I need to sleeve it. I ordered an 30cm 24-pin extender cable which I also need to sleeve.. It hasn't been delivered ye though.

Don't like the mesh... maybe if you paint it like everyone else is saying.
Right now it looks like a chicken cage though

I totally disagree... It looks cool.. Maybe it is because of pic-quality..? Wait for final pics...!

I like it, i would definantly go Black to match the case and wont contrast with the cathodes then.
Im not to keen on the mesh over the Corsair watercooler tho. Also you should spray the scythe fan as well. Either White or Black.

The mesh around the H70 is just an experiment.. Im not sure whether keep it or not.
Doesn't it affect the airflow/noise if i paint the fans?

Ive seen quite a few typhoons painted, however i cant comment for the performance as i haven't done it myself. Soon as my pc has finished with its disk check, ill whip up a few different colours of the mesh in photoshop.

I think the mesh would look good or even great if painted black and had red light coming through it.... think that would be sick looking
