    Yes, I know the W3J is a beautiful, beautiful machine and all, but has anyone modded or thought of modding your case just to make it a little more unique?

    I think it was a W3J that I saw someone had painted. It was over in the cosmetic mods section. The Papaya Orange laptop. Think it was a W3J.

    That was a W7 I did..... and for a W3, I'd rather see the lid anodized over again to keep the beauty of the brushed aluminum... that's easily lot with paint.

    --Bump--

    Does anybody know if etching would work or look good on the brushed aluminum?

    Looking good would all be a matter of personal preference. I think that some designs would look good, but I know that on my notebook I would prefer to keep it as is, I don't want it etched. I think that etching would work, I don't see any reason that it wouldn't, unless the metal was just too thin to be etched, which would make literally no sense.

    LoL... If I had a W3J.. I probably would get it etched... after a test spot of course.
