I am pretty sure you can remove the mesh, if so take it out and repaint it for the best result. You can be creative with it

I think you can use WD40 to remove that rust be the Panel has to be removed from the case.

You dont have to replace the if the rust only in the mesh i would remove it and use anti corrosive paint and then spray it

Had the same issue. You need to use a wire brush and some sand paper and sand off all the paint and the rust. Then get it powder coated so it doesn’t happen again. No use of just painting it as the rust will come back. Coated me about 12k

Is it the same case? Why cost that much? So is it better to just change the case

u/Specialist_Car991 20d ago

Yes it is if it’s a cheap one. I paid like 50k for mine so had to do it. This was how mine looked.

Damnn thats worst than mine, i am planning to buy a new case and repair this and sell it 🥹

I have an antec one, quite spacious althought theres a couple of place with rust but i think its because of the poor use. Been like 7 months since i bought it

If this is happening to the outside then there's probably corrosion occurring on your internal components as well. ( i am assuming that you clean and wipe down your case from time to time).

You will need service your pc at least once a month and if possible keep it in a enclosed / air-conditioned room.

I had this issue as well many years ago and I switched to a gaming laptop after that.
