    This has been around for quite ome time.

    I think the black chequerplate is the best bit.

    Looks nice, but think of the scratching! If you could make a temepered glass solution you'd be okay (as it's moderately breakproof and won't scratch too easily), but considering how bad the scratch-resistant coating on the new ipods scraches, oh dear.

    Interesting, but now the display surface is like a mirror! I would have cut a hole for the display instead of covering it with plexi.

    depends on the plexi you use, i have used plexi for a present that i had to search it around my house for a weak because it was super transperent and i missplased it, i only found it because it got covered in wood dust.

    Don't forget that it was done by a member here a long time ago. Capt. Slug. He has done a few of them actually. It can be found here Linky . Done with plexi but with a little different twist. Just thought you all would like to see.

    ok, after seeing this i am planning on doing it and the gods must have been thinking the same thing as work just gave me a 15.1" that does not work any more, but after some dismantling and fiddling i have discovered that the cold cathode flurecent lamps have died ... trying to find replacment ones as we speak. the tft is a hyundai HT15X11-200 if any one can help.

    Apparently ones out of old scanners work, but you have to set the brightness on max. Give it a try, the ccfl out of old scanners are useful anyways if it doesn't work. (there is a mod guide somewhere)
