I'm turning my original Xbox into an XBMC settop box, though the original paint is dirty and a little ulgy when put next to our silver Sony Trinitron TV. I have no problem taking apart the casing, though I need to know what paint to buy, since it won't regularly taken apart or handled past it's power and DVD drive buttons, durability isn't a huge concern.
I was thinking about some fast drying Rustoleum paint designed for lawn furniture, would that be fine?
You'd probably be better off with automotive paint. Start with a couple of coats of suitable primer, then the color of your choice.

Depends on budget and what you want it to look like. You can use Rust-Oleum Specialty Paint For Plastic, Krylon Fusion for Plastic Paint.

Cheap as possible, though I don't want it to chip. Matte finish would be my choice since the part I want painted is textured.
Now that I think about I may actually have used Rust-oleum paint on my old PC that I gave to my brother which is holding up fine.
