Very nice, looks very well done

[ErikCLDR]

Very cool, I like it.

[vicious7]

Cool...:cool:

How long did it take to do? And is it difficult?

[one1]

About ten to 15 minutes and IMO it was very easy. Just remove the 4 screws (two on each side) and slide a flat blade around the edge to release the tabs. Then the cover just pops off.

Leaving the part I cut out off and just sticking it back together without the blue makes it brighter also, as a second option. Monokote makes 20 different colors, so I am going to grab a few different one's and try lime green, as well as tangerine and a few others. People with black books can do red and it would look amazing.

[Dagless]

That's quite nice, I wouldn't do it for my PowerBook though.

[iToaster]

Cool! Were I to do this (never, but hypothetically) to my MBP I'd pop in a HD screen as well.

[bc008]

cool! once i get my extremely cheap ibook (if i do) im doing to do this for sure!

[phungy]

If I remember correctly, this "mod" voids the warranty.

Words of wisdom - this is a post-AppleCare mod for sure.

Looks pretty, though - if I ever pick up a knockaround iBook, this would be fun.

Oh ok, in that case ... have fun with it!

[Deefuzz]

Very nice! Definitely something I would consider doing when the AppleCare warranty runs out.

[Zwhaler]

Nice job, the color is nice.

[Father Jack]

Really, really cool .. :cool:

[ghall]

Wow, you were bored. :)

[steviem]

I recycled a WH Smiths bag to give mine a purpley-blue glow. 6 months on and its still going strong.

[roker]

Could this be the start of a "Post your :apple: Mods thread" ?

[one1]

In the interest of trying new colors, I am running yellow this week :)

WOW... that must be that yellowing problem with the screens that MBP owners complain about ;)

(and yes I know it's a MB in the pic)

Oops, you'd be wrong! it's iBook

The :apple: on my powerbook has been yellow for about a year. I also
used monokote. I think the powerbook may be a little more difficult than
the ibook, but it still only took about 20 minutes total.

[josiahcooper]

theres already a company selling these things

[Dybbuk]

Doing it on the MacBook looks terrifying. Damn.

[josiahcooper]

lol sand paper and exacto knives, i wouldn't want those anywhere near my mac

[maberga29]

That looks pretty great! I might be giving it a try later.

[twoodcc]

that is cool. but i'm not brave enough to do it though
