Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
how to paint a comp case?

I painted mine red on the outside, black on the inside. I'll see if I can take some pics and get them up later tonight. Your best bet would be to search for the many guides out there on painting, but here are the basics:
sand your case down to either the bare metal, or a thin layer of the paint that's on there. Personally, I did it to the bare metal. Start with rougher sand paper and work your way to a finer grit such as 2000.
Spray several coats of primer on to the case (I did like 2 or 3 I think), sanding inbetween each coat, so you get a smooth finish
Then start applying the layer of paint, again, sanding inbetween each coat with the finer grit sandpaper (start out with something like 600-1000 grit, but with more coats, work up to about 2000).
Once you feel satisfied with out it looks and how much paint is on there, then spray on one of those clear protective coats, and sand it down with a fine grit.
Oh and when sanding, be sure to wet sand, not dry sand.
This is by no means a complete guide, but that's basically what I did, and it seemed to turn out all right.

It looks good enough for me.
