Just got mine powdercoated red but no pics yet; costs more than paint but the electrostatic adhesion/baking process (like metal plating) actually bonds the particles to the metal so more permanent/scratch resistant along with better heat dissapation than paint, which is more of an insulator coating.

How much did the PC cost you? and how long did it take to get everything done and back to you?
