Qtip42 Registered: 10/28/06 Posts: 17	I was hoping to get this done in time for the contest but nothing ever works out perfect in the modding world. Still working on some of the parts but hopefully it'll be done within a weeks time. Would like to show it off as soon as possible.

Qtip42 Registered: 10/28/06 Posts: 17	<[censored]. Be sure to post a full mod guide. I would but I don't recommend it to anyone because of all the hoops you have to jump through. Don't even get me started on the cost :\ _________________________ http://www.computer-choppers.com

Qtip42 Registered: 10/28/06 Posts: 17	I try to keep them on the affordable side without getting too crazy on price. I've been telling people on a budget the different ways you could customize it on the cheap but either way it costs at minimum as much as the laptop will cost you _________________________ http://www.computer-choppers.com

modyourmac Registered: 08/16/04 Posts: 500 Loc: Portland, Oregon	so I'm curious. You guys obviously have someone who's plating in precious metals. However, what about chrome? that would look something awesome. If its a thought, I'd be willing to offer up my MBP for such a project. Might also help that I'm local to portland too _________________________ Electricity tastes good. No, seriously.

Qtip42 Registered: 10/28/06 Posts: 17	I used a dye on the trim so it wouldn't flake off like paint. I've got a local chromer that delivers to the shop if you want to bring parts by or the entire thing. Just shoot me a message. Looks like I might be offering these online through a local Apple reseller so that's cool. _________________________ http://www.computer-choppers.com
