I'm a surfer / skater, I've always been into slapping stickers on everything. And my main inspiration as a child to get into computers was lord nikons laptop from Hackers where he had stickers instead of numbers and letters on his keyboard lol!
As far as criticism I really don't care because I'm never going to sell this thing... I never get rid of my computers because I am a savager for parts... why sell good parts?
Main reason for this was because I hate the dirt / shiny spots my skin was leaving near the mouse pad, then the outer shell was getting scratched by my bag's zipper, so I said screw it and made it look like my boards, door, ramp, etc...
Although I am starting to like the skins from gelaskins.com have some really neat designs, so I may end up buying one.
