As some of you may remember, I got this free B&W from my school. I had painted it white, and recently bought a new case that was already painted. After a bit more work and struggle switching the cases, I had my 'True B&W', as the seller of the case called it. I still need to paint the Apple logos on the sides, so if anyone could instruct me on how to get them off that would be great. Here's what I have right now...

If anyone is interested in buying it, I will gladly take offers. I also have the old white parts I painted: front, back, top, and 3 original clear handles unpainted.

IIRC, you need to heat them up with a hair dryer or something and slowly pull them off, or push from the inside, not really sure as I have never messed with one of these machines.

Pushing from the inside is how I broke one of the old sides.

I've gotten the Apple logos off, and have done some more work. I ordered another original handle so they will all be the same. Here's what it currently looks like...

Since the mobo died, the inside is stripped down to the PSU, front speaker and button assembly, and fan assembly. Any suggestions on what to do with the case are greatly appreciated.

thats looking good. I really like that floor too, BTW

I used a heat gun that is made for heatsink wrap and then stuck in a little spike in the hole on the other side and pushed it off untill I was able to get a small flathead under it and slowly pryed it off. After you get them off all you need is paint thinner or just sand off the paint then repaint them.

Heat gun not required. I drilled the holes on the back a bit bigger with a Dremel (not necessary, but makes life easier) and pushed a pen in until i could squeeze a flathead under to pry 'em off.
