the amd fan is the stock CPU cooler. and the PSU is in the bottom left. i flipped it so it vents down and out of the case.

i used dupli-color its an automotive paint.
step
1.sand and clean
2.prime with self etching primer
3.paint with black engine enamel
(there is more to it than that but thats the over view)

as for the switch its a rocker switch that came with the cathodes i just drilled a hole for it and ran the wires.


but on to the update. i went down to mnpctech (http://mnpctech.com/) met the owner and picked up a set of feet and talked computers and modding for a bit. it was very cool.

but hear are the pics
