i saw somewhere ages ago that someone had put a mirror in the bottom of there pc and thought it looked pretty neat.

So i decided to have ago myself but instead of using a glass mirror i decided to use chrome sticky back plastic and stick it to a piece of plastic cut to fit in the bottom of the case.

I am very pleased with the results as it looks a load better than the crappy matt grey that it was before plus it has the bonus of reflecting the cc's and you can hide some wiring underneath it!

the pictures dont do it justice it looks a lot better in real life!

yes it seems a shame to hide it and for a mod that only costs about $8 for a roll of chrome sticky back plastic! you could show your danger den off to the world!

Not exactly a mirror finish, but it's very shiney and much better than battleship grey.

you should be able to get it from any large DIY store its comes in a roll and its meant to be used for covering kitchen surfaces and cupboard doors etc alternatively you should be able to get some sort of chrome sticky back plastic from a good car accessory place, the stuff i used is called FABLONŽ and comes in loads of different colors and even holographic!!

good luck finding some!!!
