Hey, that was a great guide, but I have some questions. I want to do pretty much the same as you, black background with flames. But, I am lost on what to do. I want this case:

Since it seems most modder friendly. My question is though, should I go with the black version to avoid having to paint the black on myself? Of would I be better off getting the aluminium version and doing it myself?

Also, how easy would it be to give it a mirror finish?

Where did you get the 1/8" tape though I cant find any.
