idolcrash's Journal: Painting

I painted most of the case today with some blue spraypaint, which looks quite nice, however I left it out too long and dew came around (luckily I got the guts of the box in before it got too hairy, I can't say the same for the casing, though), so I'll have to finish the job tomorrow, once finished I'll post the pictures. I ran into another problem as well, a microsoft sticker I peeled off still has some glue where it once was, but most of it is gone now, hopefully I can mask over it. The top will be covered most likely, but it was painted just in case.

The windows will be very difficult, however, as the case is going to be wide-end-down, since the other (it is supposed to be the bottom when lying down) side is metallic and asymmetrical to its opposite. This is going to be a bit of a challenge.

This was a very dirty box when I looked at it, this picture is after some deep scrubbing:

A close inspection after ripping off the "Intel Inside/Pentium III" (that's right, Pentium III) sticker shows the difference between the untouched area left by the sticker and the rest of the box. Not pretty (again, this is after washing):

These are the guts after a wipedown. It is difficult to see, but they were (and still are, to an extent) extremely dirty. I should get some compressed air for this:
