Old motherboard mod

[MrMcMuffinJr]

I recently acquired an old motherboard and decided to paint it. lets just say it did not turn out very well.

 

Here is the 775 mobo after cleaning and before paint

 

I decided to go with a matte enamel for the base.

 

I printed off a black intel logo for a stencil

 

Then, I cut out the logo letters and tapped them to the board

 

Settled on black for the color and painted it.

 

When that dried, I removed the tape, and it didn't look too good.

 

Not the best result, but still it looks cool.

put a CPU in the socket and plug it into power

Haha now you just need a few hundred more for a motherboard wall like Linus did!

Why...why would you do that to a 775 board. It looks terrible, and it most certainly killed the board if it wasn't dead already.
