    I’m currently working on a gloss white paint job on an M17x R4. It started as an R3 but after recently getting an R4 I’ve decided to swap the board and parts over to this chassis. Still working on the lid.

    Almost done. Just a few small things to tidy up. Still thinking about painting the keyboard bezel.

    Great job! White looks super clean. The led lighting has the nice glow against it.

    Thanks. I’m a big fan of the white/black combo on these old machines
