    I would like to do something very naughty to my powerbook.

    I would like to "remove" the glowy apple logo. I jsut think It would be neat to have a "ghost" powerbook.

    To do this I think I'll need some kind of paint that will match the aluminum body color of the powerbook, or failing that I'd just paint the whole 'book something snazzy. Black? A black powerbook sounds ultra nice.

    Anyone done anything so horrible to their expensive toy?

    A black Powerbook eh? You mean like THIS? That's a powerbook from a few years ago, called a Pismo. Not a big fan of the look of that, but THIS is just beauiful! In fact, check out all the different colours available HERE. Cost? A mere $450 on top of the price of a Poewrbook. They are just so beautiful though, and they will do you iBook/mini/iPod too :)

    IMO, colorware powerbooks are petarded. the silver keyboard just looks wrong.

    a pink iBook however....

    I think it would look nice in black, with a deep mirror finish. or just stick one of those round dell logos over the apple one.

    The price is insane!

    I'd just rattle-can it the linear1 way, I think it would still look quite good. Might wear down unpleasantly fast though.

    Anyone know where a human can obtain a "spare" powerbook chassis?

    A powerbook is a quality piece of kit. If you paint it, you have to make it a quality paint job otherwise it'll just look like a ruined Powerbook.

    ibooks look better than powerbooks anyway i think, even so i still wouldn't go and ruin a powerbook by doing it urself, unless you could do it really well.
