    Is there any way of painting a case from the standard Beige to say Black ?

    Also is it possible to do a monitor case ?

    This has been asked a few times and someone threw up some really nice sites(please put them up again) but in the end it fell to google i think :rolleyes:

    But a sticky or a part in a thread would be nice or even a forum inside this one would be class too.Any views kids?

    yes you can paint it, some nice spray paint and some lacquer (dont forget to turn off the pc and disassemble) as for the monitor, the lump of plastic around the screen can be taken off for the same effect...for the lacquer and paint any good motor factor usually have a good range of colours

    Not sure how you would go about painting it but make sure you apply thin layers of paint, to much and it could start dripping and it would take longer to dry.
    I shall repeat: APPLY THIN LAYERS OF PAINT
    You will get a far better finish that way trust me.

    watch out if you're doing anything plasticy using spray cans, sometimes the plastic will melt, depending on the material it's made of, so try somewhere you can't see first and see what happens.
