tech_guy Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 I once spent a weekend spraying a dozen computer cases a rather lurid shade of green for a business promotion. It took four coats a machine to get the desired effect but it looked pretty special afterwards. All we used was the metallic paint you buy from Halfords to spray your car. The hardest part was stripping the cases down to be sprayed. There's some excellent websites that show you how to get a really professional finish. Never done a laptop though - I think the paint might eat the plastic most are made of?!

Domino Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 My home computer's hotter than a microwave - makes a lovely Shepherd's Pie... that's because Microwaves don't get hot....
pete Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 You could buy whatever you like, carefully dismantle the casework and break out the vinyl dye?
timzim Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 that's because Microwaves don't get hot.... Of course they don't. So if you boiled, say, a kilo of jam in your microwave for half an hour you'd then be happy to put your pet snowman in the oven straight afterwards because, in your opinion, it will always be stone cold inside.
Jamo Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 I think Lucid Lynx (Ubutnu 10.4) is going to look similar to 9.10 but a quick install of compiz and you could get: Purple Haze GNOME-Look.org

Jamo Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Incorrect; see my previous link. Ooooo! Looks cool! I have been wondering if there would be any changes! The windows aren't as purple as mine though lol
NikChillin Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 If not, what about a fluffy cover? http://www.madlycreative.com.au/images/laptop-covers/laptop9.jpg Not if you have cats! They'll love that:D:D
tech_guy Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 I wouldn't have a snowman in the house Quite! I did once and he wet himself all over the carpet and in the morning he'd gone..... ....left a carrot on the floor. Bizarre.

ICT_GUY Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 It only looks that way through Adobe tinted spectacles. 2
elsiegee40 Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 It only looks that way through Adobe tinted spectacles. That is just cruel! I shall omit the neg rep on this occasion though!
