First off, let me apologize for the crappy pix. My wife changed the settings on the camera, so she could take more pics. A LOT more pics. :)

Also, please note that I don't intend on keeping the wires and PSU as you see them here. This is an old socket 754 setup we had in boxes for testing, and as you can see, the semi-BTX form factor wasnt friendly to the PSU wires. The new PC is on it's way (DFI Lanparty NF4 SLI-DR, amd 64 4800, ocz plat 2x1gb, etc...) I was going for the approach of something internal to compliment the lanparty board's UV Reactiveness. The case is a silverstone Temjin TJ-06, all brushed aluminum black exterior, with the exception of the back now, which is orange with the green/yellow PSU plate.

I am posting this to get an opinion on the colors. I used a UV Orange for my main color, and a flourescent Yellow (looks more lime to me) for the back door and plastic components. Do you think it is too much, or too little? There is no specific look as of yet. I am going to have a window laser etching which will cover 12" x 8" dead center. For now, just asking for input on the color scheme inside. Took me a few hours to paint (just paint, not including prep work) so I want to know if these colors "paid off". They do for me, but I am looking for an overall wow effect from people elsewhere as well, and this is my first time painting. All input appreciated. (constructive criticism > Threadcrapping about wire management & PSU popping out the back).

Thanks in advance.

dawg that looks lik a rainbow in there :p i usually lik to stick to one color and keep it simple, sleek and clean but if u like it that way, then thats fine with me ;)
 
Actually, I thought the same thing. One color. I just happened to choose orange for that color. TBH, Orange 100% is like putting a meteor in your pc. It was way too bright UV, but with a low contrast. I added the bright yellow, to compliment it. Guess it didnt turn out as well as hoped.

I kind of agree with N H O. Pretty colorful, but not too bad. Certainly better than some I've seen.

My preference for UV reactive systems is to paint the case flat black and try to keep the
colors compartmentalized so they don't bleed together & ruin the effect.
