    I'm wondering id anyone knows where to get laptop cases painted up? In the UK preferably. Or even pre painted ones like at falcon northwest and voodoopc. I found a couple of places with fairly good prices, unfortunatly they're all in the us and the import tax is insane.

    there is a tutorial here: http://spiike.shadowdragon.net/laptop%20painting.htm

    You basically buy a second chassis for your notebook and painted it with the instructions in the tutorial. Looking at Spiike's results, I'd never shell out big bucks to FNW.
