Workshop Series: Retro ATX Case Restoration (easy fix!)

Please don't throw away ugly old faded cases! They can be brought back to look like new.
In this short video I restore a very poor retro ATX case, bought for very little off eBay. Originally made in the late 90's, it had badly yellowed plastic parts and the painted metal cover was also pretty tired.
It is easy and cheap to repair something like this if you know what to do.
I hope this video helps you restore your own computer cases back to their original glory!

Just.. WOW!

[@cfstonge]

Wow I didn’t know it was that easy to undo the yellowing

[@B00MERTEC]

Yeah, to be honest for some time I'd avoid old cases for sale that were badly yellowed even if they were really cheap, thinking they were too ugly to bother with. I now actually look for them as cases that are already pristine tend to fetch very high prices on eBay and such. Nobody bids on the yellow ones!

Lookks great, I've never seen this retrobright tecnique before, is is new?

[@B00MERTEC]

Hi! Well it's just what I do but I've seen loads of different ways of doing it. If they are small parts I usually put them in a pan of hydrogen peroxide and leave on a low heat overnight. A bottle of hair cream like this one is cheap and lasts forever, very effective with minimal hassle.
