What Color Should I Paint My Fileserver?

Artimus · 08-15-2003, 12:14 PM

I'm looking for a little advice here. What color should I paint my fileserver? I don't like the color it is now, and I think it could use a paint job.

Note: There are more possible colors than there is poll options, so I didn't post a poll.

Some ideas I've had (And friends had):

Black
Dark Navy Blue
Silver (With a metallic looking Paint)

Any other ideas are welcome. If you have any particularly cool pictures of modded cases, feel free to post them.

Here's a picture:

Fleck it! I don't know if that's a word my brother made up or not..

Fleck is that texture-ish paint that gives it a bit of a bumpy thing (like a wall kinda). Fleck it with Gray, but make the base red. That'd look awesome

You could also do some Base red, blend it to a mustard yellow, then Fleck it Gray! Yeah, that'd look real good!

Fleck (or whatever it's really called) is available at most hardware stores and Wal-Mart type stores

Cool

I say if the case is mainly aluminum or metal, sand blast it down to give it a natural metal look.. and then paint the plastic front plate to match it..

One of our walls is made of that stuff, I think. It's annoying... White base with light green highlights O_o I'll take a picture of it later...

Hot pink...with neon green stripes.

Paint it paint that glows in the dark, or get some reflective plates and put it on all of the server.

royal purple with pink polka dots

Paint it with some kind of acid that dissolves skin but doesn't dissolve metal

I can't take it somewhere to have it professionally done. This will be a do it myself deal.

Glow in the dark sounds cool, but the fans in it keep me awake at night as it is.

I'm beginning to think about Black more and more.

Uh... Black shows the dust more than other colors, don't ya think?

How about paint it the same color as the environment around it?
