    Can anyone suggest a good paint for painting a notebook. I want to put some sort of insignia and my name on my R3000Z when I get it. Also any suggestions on a good logo would be great. I'm thinking about seeing if I can get the Neverwinter Nights eye logo. That thing rocks.

    This is a page on modding Dell laptops. You can read through Spiike's painting tutorial. As for disassembly, you will need to google search. Painting takes a long time. When you consider sanding, painting, clear-coating, and polishing, that is a lot of time without your notebook. The maker of the tutorial actually bought a second chassis to paint, and then moved all of the stuff over.
