    So I have been putting this off for a really long time waiting for my warranty to end. It has ended and im ready to start.

    So here I am thinking of how to do it, how to make it cool. I do have a few good ideas that I wanted to bounce off a few of you guys, maybe get some more ideas too.

    So, first off is the bottom of the computer. I am going to remove the mesh on the bottom and paint it with a black and yellow stripe pattern, like a hazard warning type thing.

    The black parts of the laptop will stay the way they are.

    The silver parts I am thinking of doing the hexagon shapes painted onto it. The lid will have the hexagons along with orange and black stripe type thing.... see attached picture.

    Above the vents in the rear (on the lcd lid), I want to put a small "caution: exhaust vent" signs and maybe some fake soot to make it look like the exhaust is shooting out industrial polution :)

    I would love to cut out the alienhead logo on the lcd and replace it with a silhouette of a titan


    I would like to do some mods to the inside also, thinking about removing the black paint from the heatsinks and making the copper dirty looking. Then maybe figure some other things out that can be seen through the mesh.

    So... what do you guys think sofar?
