Hey guys,
I've got a c2d imac, and was wanting to put alittle flare to it. I was wondering, has anyone thought of a clear casing to replace the white casing, or does someone already make such a thing?

no one? :-

No one makes such a thing. The toughest aspect would be the cost of paying a fabricator, as it would take a lot of technical skill to make it yourself.

There are also two other problems:

(1) Unlike the original G5 version of these iMacs, the Intel-based ones have the side and rear part of the case as one piece - so you'd need to make the front bezel and the side/rear (whereas with a G5 iMac you could just make the front/rear piece clear, which would be easier).

(2) But the biggest drawback by far is that the Intel iMacs (again, unlike the G5 iMacs) are butt-ugly inside - the internal components aren't arranged very nicely, and there are sheets of metal EMI shielding all over the place.

Ah, did not know that. Thanks for the info, ill know now to keep the pretty snow white case.

I wonder, think you would be able to RIT dye the case of the iMac? A red one would be quite sweet.

Now you're talking. Not the simplest task, but potentially fabulous results.

hmm, nice point flippy. I am looking into it as we speak. If anything sparks, ill make sure to keep you guys updated.
