Quick Mic Mod

[scar~face]

I play a few online games that have voice communication, to i grabbed am old mic out of storage and have been using it for about a year now

well, from being bumped and kicked off my desk many times, it is looking a little tired and i HATE the computer grey colour

So, I was thinking about getting a new one, but then i said, NAY!

Ill just make i new stand and arm for it!

I searched around my house for somthing to make the stand out of and i found this.

it is the stand from some cheap watch i bought a couple years back, i think it will work perfect

So i removed the old stand and arm (or what was left) and i first covered tht wire in some random silvery rubber sleeving i found, and then in some tubing to stiffin it up i bit.

this is generally what its going to look like

i painted that actual mic cover black, and the grill\screen at the end silver (its really silver sharpie, but shhhh..)
