I also wouldn't waste the time painting the interior.  I haven't even gotten around to installing a black bezel around my monitor in my DK and you can't tell AT ALL behind the tinted plexiglass.  There's nothing but the monitor bolts and MDF back there and you can't tell so I'm pretty sure there's no good reason to paint the insides of a cabinet unless you just want it to be nice and neat!   I'm also a perfectionist when I build and an unfinished inside doesn't bother me at all.  :cheers:

For a restoration, I'd say don't paint it without a compelling reason.  Particularly if there are any factory stencilling or other markings in there.

If you were building a new one from scratch, where you aren't as concerned about originality, I'd paint.  I've done way too much work inside dark and dingy places over the years, and have always found that a coat of white paint makes it much brighter and easy to see what you're doing.
