Modding an old laptop

[47_MasoN_47]

A fun thing to do is to cut away some of the panels and then use the plastic from old CD cases to form windows. You can then put LEDs behind it or just leave it open. I used to have an old laptop that I took apart and shot the case a few times, then put clear plastic behind the bullet holes and painted up to look like it was bleeding. Put all the internals back in it and added pulsing red LEDs behind the windows. It was pretty cool and a lot of fun to do. I wish I had pictures of it, but that was back before I had a digital camera.
