Title: Rosewill 9000 - Case shining
Post by: i3oilermaker on Tue, 06 March 2012, 13:05:57

My Rosewill 9000 (brown) is not even a few weeks old, and I am already noticing a little bit of shining on the case where my right hand rests.

Kind of a bummer, and really makes me more envious of those amazing CNC aluminum cases.  Anyone out there do any case modding with the Rosewills?

you can try putting on a Vinyl wrap or Carbon fiber! it would cover up the fugly logo as well!

You can get it cheap on ebay.

just like this guy did to his QF

I scuffed off the logo on mine with a magic eraser. If you're extremely careful I think you could take the logo off without shining the case too badly -I was not extremely careful. I've been considering just painting the case, that'd deal with the shine problem too.

I was drunk and impatient when I did this, I think you might be able to get all the logo off without shining the case much if you were very careful and patient.

Here you go:

In my neighborhood we call that "ghetto".

You know about redneck camouflage right? It's the two-tone paint job of rust and bondo.
