Yes, that's right. I'd like to mod the casing of my 20" Intel iMac. (White casing era.)
I've been doing some research into the subject (namely looking into taking them apart), and I think it's possible, but I might just need a slap in the face. Feel free to provide that slap.
A little over a year ago, my computer had a nasty run-in with some scented oil from Pier 1. While the screen came out unscathed, the oil reacted with the polycarbonate plastic Apple used to make the rest of the casing, leaving a whole splattering of drop-spots quite literally etched into the plastic. You can't see it from a distance, but up close at working distance it looks like Jackson Pollock had at it with hydrochloric acid. I'm sick of looking at the splotches, and since they're textured, there's no hope of painting over them. So, if I'm going to mod it, I'd like to go with an involved thematic mod.
Due to my nomadic college student lifestyle, I need to keep my modifications rather minimalistic so I can keep using my iLugger case. I'm thinking of just painting the back, and replacing the front faceplate entirely. I have no idea what I'm going to do about the stand yet.
The trouble with replacing the faceplate is, unlike say, a monitor mod, I have to consider accommodating the microphone, the camera, the CD slot, the IR sensor, and the power/sleep light. Keep in mind, I'm doing this for purely aesthetic reasons.
In case anyone's wondering, I'm intending on doing a vaguely steampunk design with a distinctly art nouveau twist.
