Well i guess it's about time i posted this....
I actually finished this a few weeks ago....

It started as the same e-machine as in KfistoRok's
thread sans flames.

It was my older bro's and it really wasn't doing anything just laying in a few pieces in his room. So i swiped it and decided to play with it. First off it needed a new OS because XP was corruptified... so i loaded Fedora on it to play around with!

So after i played around with Fedora for a bit i got bored and it sat in my room for a few weeks... then one day I got really bored and decided "thats a really ugly color for a case *bleh*" So i grabbed it and initiated "Bordom case-mod mode!"

first off it needed some prepping! I decided to get rid of the big e-machine plastic logo that is on the top-o the case, i also removed the e-machine logo on the front and the power, usb, HD led and Power led plastic markings.

Then I wet sanded it all down some and put some primer on, then went-sanded and primered and wet-sanded...etc

Then came the color Black Krylon Hammered Spray paint! I liked the color was neat, but i kinda didn't like the textured ness of it. i put two coats of that wet sanding between. I wanted to do something else, but I didn't want flames. So i picked the spiky things. Painted it with this cool blue paint. (I curse the hummidity of georgia! the spikes on top bubbled up! arg!:mad:) Then came the clear coat, I wet sanded before that (2 coats of that)

Then i put it back together. While putting it together i found that i misplaced the e-machine case badge that goes on the front! meh ok it was ugly in the first place so i just wipped up one of my own! And also i just knew i had to put a CCFl in for you guys! so I threw in the only one I had that was just sitting around.

Ya i know there are a few chips in it, not my fault little bro's fault! and i couldn't get some of the polish out of the vent holes in the side. meh! this was just a pointless mod that i just did with what I mostly had sitting around.
