While I await for some parts to bet delivered for my 1st mod project - The Horror-ible PC, I have decided to start another called 'Pimp-my-Dell'.
I had an old Dell Optiplex GX1 (P3-450, 64megs, ATI RAGE PRO 4meg, 16GB HD) sitting around and decided to make it be all it can be- both hardware-wise and externally.
I figured if there is 1 color that screams bling-bling it has to be GOLD.
Pre-Painting:
Coat1:
I was surprised that covering all the surfaces of those parts with just 1 coat took the entire can. Off to the store I go for more gold paint.
To round out the hardware upgrades I purchased an ATI Radeon 7000 PCI, and plan to purchase additional ram and a Slot1->Socket 370 Powerleap upgrade kit- that will support upto a Celeron 1.4 ghz. Ill probably need a new HD too if I want to install XP on it. It currently is running WinME.
So what else does it need- some fake jewels? or a disco ball?
