I got the Blue and the White and they are very sharp.  Thanks!

The Blue is not as Cyan as I wanted but I do like it.  Was there more than one type of Blue for this?

The pics of the Orange are awesome - kinda wish I would have gotten that instead of White.  Hindsight is 20 20.

Thanks again!

That blue is almost the exact color I need for my QFR case to match my rig.

The blue you see above has more red in it than the color is in person (more cyan).  Can't rely on photographs due to varying monitor calibration, white balance setting and corrections or lack thereof, etc. 

Look up Montana Gold 100% Cyan color.  It's close to that, a tad colder.  The actual color name is Rust-Oleum Maui Blue.  I'm guessing mushu wanted something more green, like turquoise.  I don't have easy access to Montana Gold paints.



Maui Blue:


P.S.:  there's this new color that Ive been looking to get myself, but my Home Depot's been perpetually out.  That's more turquoise:

Thanks for the info. Only problem is like I wrote above is that I live in a apartment complex. And there is absolutely no place for me to attempt to paint.
Man I wish I would have found out about this group buy in time to get one.
