Hey guys! I just want to show you my progress on an "experiment" with a trashed HP Compaq PC that I pulled out of the dump (legally ?).
The PC came with no HDD (otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get it), only 2GB of DDR3 memory and a Core i3 2100. Yep not much really, but for free and I always wanted to do a pointles modd on a PC anyway ?.
Alright, I first started sleeving all the cables of this little HP machine. It actually has way less cables than standard PCs but it comes with lots of IO-Cables that are rather thick and diffcult to work with. Nothing that could stopp me though.
After I sleeved every single possible wire in this PC I decided to take everything apart and spraypaint the front of the metall chassis silver (it was black). My aim is to get a silver shine through the black plastic shroud.
That's basically where I'm at rightnow. I will spraypaint all the CPU-cooling parts silver too. I'm also gonna cut a window into the sidepanel and get some lighting in there.
I like working with acrylic but I don't know what I should modd by using it inside the PC...
If you have any recommendations and idea, please feel free to share ?
