[mythtv-users] Hardware Advice

[Jeff Clowser]

I have this case on order.  For those that have it, does it look 
possible to take the front of the case off and spray the case front 
black instead of spray painting the drives without too much risk of 
fowling buttons and such?  I'd rather paint a case and mess up a button 
than spray paint a drive (with more moving/delicate parts) and maybe get 
paint in it and muck that up :)
