Has anyone done a mod like this http://homepage.mac.com/jimyounkin/PhotoAlbum6.html with an ibook? I got that gel kit he used and am seriously thinking about doing it soon. It seems simple enough. What's your opinion?
of course it does!Vader said:That looks very cool, but I am sure it voids the warranty.

Much easier on the iBook IMO
Was it easy? NO..
I spent over an hour and a half and probably 4 credit cards (old expired credit cards or local point cards that i don't use)
I made sure i didn't want to break anything or even scratch the casing.
One of the hardest part was to get to the hex screw on the bottom of the screen. I had to hack my hex tool to make it shape the lines of the PB.
In the end.. i'm really happy with the end result.
I bought the color peices off

After looking at that site, I was thinking that I want to do something other than the color Apple logo. What do you guys think? I think a gray might look nice but it wouldn't let enough light through when running.

calyxman said:Yeah, but if you've got no warranty to left, then what's there to lose?
iSwift said:Yeah, voids the warranty for sure.
I think it looks pretty sweet, but I think the silver casing and white apple on my PowerBook looks "slicker"? Bad word choice, but you know what I mean. Apple designs beautiful looking products.
Check out these G3 iBook modifications though. This is cool.

I took out all the white paint from the top and painted it silver.
it was my $500 powerbook, haha!
I also put a picture of myself in the apple.
It could look good...or.....Lau said:Do you have a picture of this? I'd be interested to see what a silver iBook looks like!
