A few pics of my Medion 40274(left) and Acer 8104(right)

I put the 8104's stickers on the Medion to increase it's power and stability.

I used woodgrain con-tact paper and clear laminate from my local Wal-Mart. The texture of the black plastic around the LCD prevents the con-tact paper from sticking.

Materials


All of the covered covered buttons remain fully functional and the leds are visible through the translucent wood grain.

I was thinking of doing a similar thing with my impending laptop. Contact paper and laminate seems a much better option than spending hundreds of dollars for auto paint. Or, just paper it white and paint the thing myself

I originally wanted to use black marble or another pattern but couldn't find any in local stores.
My options were:
a) use the woodgrain that I already had
b) buy a decorative floral print from Wal-mart

Since I'm not a big fan of decorative floral prints, option a) wins. If I sell it later, I can take the contact paper off and the outer plastic will look good as new.

New breed of modding styles about flourish, eh?

Someway, it looks pretty cool and the craftmanship looks solid. Just remember to put the "Don't try this at home, kids" -sign blinking, since someone with a vision without the skill could come out with a very funky outcome. And my god, think about all the improbable risky situations you can get yourself into with that deveicing texture! Lets just say you come into a lodge after some intense hiking and want to take a well deserved nap and leave your sweet sweet Acer on the floor. Next thing you know as you wake up; some home-Arnold with a grotesque long beard and a bad eye sight is chopping your lappy with an axe as firewood.

Everything said, I personally would _never_ do such abuse to my laptop. Cool pictures though.

it's a kind of fabric-covered laptop. I like pattern of wood~

Acer is more good.
