Hey guys, This is my first time posting here in EVGA forum. Just a quick explanation for this project. I'm not good in photo editing and rendering stuff so please bare with me on the photos of the concept. The plan is to use MATX case and rotate the motherboard 90 degrees and make it fit on a MATX Case. Layouts and design will go as i build the pc.  Color scheme of this build will be "Black and Gold". Hope you guys will enjoy this project. thanks.

Welcome to the Forum dkmodifiedSo Far it looks really Nice +1 if you had a MODS RIGS and Some Benchmark Scores. Time to Create One and even maybe win the 1000 EVGA Bucks coming up. 1,000 EVGA Bucks System Countdown: 12, that is after 12 more new MODS RIGS Created someone will win. Build Yours

Nice style, I like the rotated motherboard. I am a custom automotive painter and I custom painted my case silver/kandy orange, and just a thought for you, the color gold is a very tricky color to "look right" it can easily turn out too yellow or too brown/orangish. If you decide to paint it gold, make sure you choose carefully as from my experience it's quite a difficult color to get it to look how you want it. Maybe an 18k gold paint would be a good choice as it would fall inbetween the colors yellow and copper.

 You really need to go an look at this case. You will most likely want to change what you have written.

I did look at it and it's nice. On the case above my eyes see yellow, not gold. What I should have put is once you start using Kandy Paints things can get complicated quickly. That's what I am referencing in my previous comment. My apologies on not stating that clearly. Kandy is on a level of its own in regards to paint which only custom painters will use and not manfuactors (atleast I don't know of any manufactors for cases that can spray Kandy yet, they can use colored metallics or bases as you usually see) but if you know some who do, please let me know if there is such a company as I'd be glad to see how their cases look, espcially gold themed ones.

Hi bro. thanks for the input. before i was planning to mix paint but luckily for me, i found an aerosol spray can here near my place. so i think i will just use the 18k aerosol spray to save me time and effort but will spend more $$$ i think. LOL

No prob, I think your best bet is going with that 18k look, that's the best looking gold and truest to color in my opinion. Going with a 24k will make it look too yellow. You sure are going to have a unique looking case with that gold, not many people choose gold so you'll be one of rare few haha! Good luck with it and I would like to see how it looks in the end, maybe post about it here when you're finished.

yeah.. i would definitely post a worklog of the project here in the forum. again, thanks for the advice.  and yeah, i think i know why less people choose gold, the spray can is freakin expensive.. about 15usd per can. demn. hahahaha.. it really is "GOLD"  .

$15 a can aint that bad when you consider I paid $500 for my silver +120 Orange Kandy + Clear Coar = $620 just for my cases paint, but I simply wanted to paint it with the best I could afford I almost went with chrome instead of silver but it would have been double the price lol... I'll be posting my rig up on MOD RIGS later today. I installed some new CableMod cables and a custom painted motherboard cover yesterday. I'll edit this post later to let you know to check it out, now I just gotta take some HD pictures

I really want to see the final result. right now, im waiting for the parts to arrived so i can start the planning. I already have the case though. but maaaan.. that $620 for a paint. dats pretty expensive. ill see what i can do with the $15 paint. hahahaha.

some test fit is being done. i really need to double check each measurement since the case is for matx mobo's only. as expected. it will be a tight fit. the PSU is so big. i need to change it to sfx psu.

Interested to see your progress. I wonder if this style case should be a new trend for LAN parties. :)
