The side is a bit bland bud, maybe you can do a decal or a racing stripe or an ST logo or something?
Another thing you could do is maybe some white edging on the chassis?

Excuse the paintwork,had to use word as paint couldn't open your image
I would do the lines thicker, but this is what I meant.

You're welcome bud
That could give you some nice contrast...are you using any lighting at all?

Your mod is looking very good. Don't make the whole mod white, it wont be much different from your everyday old beige box then. What you could do is paint the inside white (Much like Wikid did a while back to his P180) Then light the inside Blue or UV if you can.

I've been brainstorming..... Inside will remain black.
Ill accent certain parts white like the drives holder plates, 5.25" drive clips and the expansion slot covers.
Thinking of doing a ghost effect on the sides. not sure what graphic to use yet........
And watercooling has taken a good turn.
2x 240 mm rads will be in play. a dremel
and adding a gpu block/s and might squeeze a NB block in
also might see a change from nvidia to xfired ATI (48xx series)

There is a possibility of me doing white stripes down the sides to match up with the notches on the front bezel..... but need to get some tape and do a mock up

Looking Good.
Don't do the whole thing white, it starts to look dirty and tired very soon.
You might try adding small black detail back onto the white front piece, say in some of the recesses? or something metallic to it?
Edit: in all the photographs it looks like it lacks depth or texture (maybe its the light or camera?)

I think you'd be better off whitening the inside of the case TBH, the black just absorbs the light. You could even do a gunmetal grey or similar, if you prefer the darker look.

Very neat paintwork, Dude.
I'm with UrBaN on the edges as suggested...it does kinda "tie it all in", but the white interior has me wondering:
If you are doing watercooling, are you going to be making a feature of the water pipes? If yes, then I'd go dark interior with UV lighting, it will be more visible.
At the end, it boils down to personal choice, as you'll be the one seeing it all the time.
Keep up the good work.
