I didn't forget about you guys, I want to get back on my MacBook as much as you want to see more (although this G4 Cube isn't that bad since I've installed Tiger...)

Working on getting that one little problem fixed, then I can get it up and running. :eek:


Edit: Tomorrow afternoon to be specific...

Looks pretty slick. Think I'd have kept it all silver though. Mind you I sold my psp a long time ago, so...

Have you thought about doing the entire thing in that vinyl? Or at least all of the back?

Apparently you haven't quite caught up to the rest of us. I'd say its just a few below "gay men" and "gay women"; look for the closest hominid. You'll see it.

I gotta admit I like the Orange Keys + White Inside area :( It matched the apple logo on the outside perfectly!

nice... too bad the frame around the screen wasn't also black... that would look great.

Get me one and I will use it! :p As far as I know, I need to buy a new display assembly to get that one bezel piece...

Would you be interested in putting those orange keys on the black case? I think that would help do away with the slightly awkward look of the all black top case.

I plan to dye the keys even darker when I get back home (at a friends house right now) and put them on the blackbook topcase. It should look good!

The Apple Logo will be Black to match the topcase, Im getting a Color Jel that I am going to put against the back of the display, should look good!




Ill have some more pictures tomorrow (with orange keys), because this project isn't finished just yet! I am really, REALLY happy with how it looks now, and its going to be even better!
