So since my Verbatim case got damaged I had to use my old HDD case which was silver (old school) Looked horrible next to my tv and other stuff. So I decided to give it a face lift.

It was like this


I apply several layers of Black Acrylic paint to give it a glossy look.
After painting

I added blue plastic in the front for the LED. I also left the back part unpainted (I think it looks better this way)



No big deal, but made everything look better on my living room (aka Headquarters)
