My personal case color scheme idea is a blue case, with stylized chrome lightning bolts on the sides (shaped like the one on the winamp logo; the zigzag 'Z'). trouble is, how do you get both the mirror-polished lightning, and a textured, deep-blue finish over the rest of it? chrome-plating the whole thing and then trying to paint on top of it doesn't sound very effective (paint would flake off... unless you ground it/roughed the chrome away, I suppose); and just chrome paint on top of blue paint, wouldn't give the mirror finish I was thinking of. seems like a waste to chrome-plate something, then grind most of it away (except for the parts I want left polished); but I guess that's how it may have to be. actually, a polished stainless-steel case would probably be better than chrome; but I don't think there's anything commercial like that; and I'm not enough of a sheet-metal worker to make my own. :( PC Power & Cooling (wwww.pcpowercooling.com) has a full-tower case that can be had in black with a chrome bezel; but the price with knock you over. :( of course, I could just be cheezy and get some 16ga polished stainless sheet; then cut the lightning bolts out of that and stick them on my case with double-sided tape or something. :) what's a good sheet-stainless supplier in town?
