I can imagine that's going to create a nice smell after a couple hours of use (heat + duct tape = ew).

ROFL.... interesting application.

But is it just me or did you completely cover the fan port on the bottom? And covering the PSU on the cord? That's gunna smell MIGHTY ripe pretty quick.

But hey, who am I to judge art? If ya dig it, then ya dig it. More power to ya.

Lol @ OvRide

Sega01, I didn't mean to put you down when I said it was going to smell bad. If you like your laptop covered in duct tape, thats fine. It's a well conducted mod (if you can call it that), so props to you.

I need to do that but with Aluminium tape, the whole thing would be like one big heatsink.

OR.. you could use it at the beach and when you weren't computing.. you could use it as one of the tanning screens.. or you could spread it across your windshield to keep the inside of your car cool in the summer..

I don't want to imagine what would happen if he used colored duck tape. An epileptic's worst nightmare.

I am a huge fan of duct tape. i run my own business selling duct tape wallets, hats, purses, backpacks, you name it. But seriously, you could have atleast done it neatly, that is the worst application of duct tape I've ever seen. Point for creativity, mega minus points for cooling, functionality, and neatness. 0/10.

That's pretty sweet.
You can buy Duct tape wallets in my union. In the UK it's like this imaginary solve-all that we see on American Sitcoms. Actual brand duct tape isn't readilly avaliable here.

Nice Mod, though if anyone went near my laptop with anything sticky they get their fingers chopped off. I re-enforced this rule after my friends baby managed to grab it after meal time. I actually had to dismantle the laptop to get the baby food out of the fan. Oh, the horror...

Classic, every redneck that knows what a computer is and has even the most basic knowledge of using a computer (turning it on) will envy you, otherwise, it's just a rectangle with duct tape. (No offense to rednecks, there are just some really stupid people that manage to annoy me and it's just the memories, sorry).

Imagine sending that Dell in for maintenance, heh heh... those techies will have fun cracking that sucker open. :D As far as I know duct tape all over the shell doesn't void the warranty. :D

Probably me being bored and not paying attention to the timestamp on each post... I'm just not tired, and it's 2 in the freakin' morning... I'll try to pay more attention to when they're posted, I'd rather not be a nuisance here, I'm enough of one to myself at times... but yeah, from March '06... yeah, that's a year ago, should almost lock threads after three months of inactivity, and only allow the creator to unlock it... hnh...

Oh I wasn't talking about you, your just and innocent victim of a bad thread revival. ;)

Good Thread Revivals = Good

Bad Thread Revivals = Bad

I think I already said that not too long ago... I think someone needs to go mod something. :)

Yeah, I'll have to go do that, if I'm allowed to, damned parents are restrictive in good ways, and bad ways, and modding restrictions are one of the bad ones... but if I can get ahold of a cheap optical mouse and a container of Icebreakers, there's something fun to do. Now let's just leave the "dead" thread here to it's hole six feet under, I bet it wants to return.
