Is it me or you just also painted the outer shell of the video card? Hope you have enough cooling going on...
Other than that...creative.
thats a nice rig. Its built with a lot of room to grow. This would definately be a standout discussion piece for any home or office.
Love it! Feels like I just took a trip back to the early 90's!
Good Job! This has been promoted to the front page. ;)

all i painted is the shroud. Which is just plastic over the heatsink.
also added specs and verifications.
Thanks for all the great comments
I love it! Wish I was creative, bold, and didn't procrastinate as much to do something similar. And it would be IMPOSSIBLE for me to get the right splats.
Yea.. nice splatting man :)
Sweet design! Looks really cool and creative!
