Sister's Case Mod "Work Log"

[schultz]

More wet sanding and look at the results! Still seeing a bit of metal showing through, but look at those reflections! Must be doing something right!




Here is the near completed paint job. At this point I have already put all of the paint on, and I've done my rubbing compound work. And look how she shines! This was making me feel very good about all the work I'd put in.



I just like this picture because of how much light is shining off of the case.


With the limited time I had I was unable to put on a coat of wax or something of the like. This picture is really the only one that shows why that would bump this paint job up to the next notch.


How can a mod be complete without a stealthed drive? Hehe.



There you have it, "Sister's Case Mod" complete! Hopefully you have enjoyed this (longwinded) work log.

Sweet mod! I hope she appreciates it!

I was hoping for ponies, personally. I guess dragons are OK, too.

Thanks!

Heh, I know she appreciates it, she's told me many times. What's also really cool is the stuff that people say about it when they see it. She's had multiple people ask her what the heck it was. They had no idea it was a computer!

According to her and all her friends, she's got the coolest computer on her campus (it's a smaller campus...but still...).

Oh, and I'm glad I got your approval on the dragon. I can sleep peacefully now.

Thanks. She's not upgraded any of the parts of the computer, and I don't think she has any real plans to any time soon. My sister is really not a computer nerd at all, so what she's got now works perfectly for her. I wouldn't be surprised too much if she kept it until the whole thing just stopped working. We'll see, though. Maybe I'll have to go for round 3 some time in the near future.
