$9.01 Mod - My first mod(if it is a mod?)

[lominono]

This is the first time I have done anything to my computer. I got tired of looking at my really ugly dimension

So I went over to walmart and got some spray paint and the end result came out not that bad.

I forgot to take a pic of it but I have 2 drives and I painted the trays white(looks cool btw)

I painted the harddrive enclosure, cd and dvd drives, cpu fan duct, part of the power unit(I couldn't take off all of the components because I stripped a screw taking it apart), than those covers at the bottom left

I wanted to paint the inside and back white but I couldn't take the mobo off because I would of have to have taken the heat sink off to access some screws but I didn't have any of that paste stuff.

and you can see those covers here, I wish I could of painted the back of that power unit and could of painted the back side white.

-------------------

so what do you think?

oh and does anyone know of any way/type of paint that is more durable than spray paint? for instance I put on 2 coats of primer and 2 coats of metallic blue on the cd n dvd drives and it just got scraped off putting it into the bay. I didn't put any clear coat on, would that make it more durable?

Nice, The colors really do make it better, but now you need to cut a window in that thing and throw some LED's in

Same thing here, kids get high off of it, And he did that so he wouldn't get 99 cents in change.

oh what a place the states is... though it probably happens here too. though we don't need id.

That looks really good! I wish I would of thought of doing that before I trashed my Dimension 4700 awhile back. ^_^

I hope you get to do more painting on it in the future! Painting the back side, insides, etc would really put the finishing touches on it.

ha, I bet if Dell had seen that white front panel when they were building those they would of adopted the idea.

sorry for the picture quality, it doesn't like low light. but these are the cd and dvd trays(they use to be black)

thanks for the compliments all

@spawn n mitt: I think it was because of graffiti, people started to get really pissed because it was costing them a lot money so they pushed politicians... I don't know if wal-mart or others are required to card or if they do it for good will.

I don't really care either way... I'm not under 21 anymore :smile:

and yeah like mitt said, I don't like change and getting the max amount of change out of a dollar is really annoying to me.

Looks good! Now go get some bondo and some sand paper and fill in the damn advertisement on the side!
