This is my first real mod for anything. So no laughing. This is my pirmed and ready mouse. I'm going to paint skull and cross bones on it or I'm going to have someone airbrush it to look like old scruffy wood. Thanks for comments and ideas.

wtf?...lol nice...i guess...no i can see what the case looks like...looks awesome...there should be a key start in the front to turn on the comp...sorta like a key to open a chest...thought it would look really sick.

I have a quick update. Since my father is in Iraq and hasn't had the time to purchase a mouse for his laptop with him I decided that I'm going to buy and paint him up a mouse. Its going to be painted sandy desert, then light brown and then a dark brown like the camo style. then his company is called the bandits so i'm going to paint a littel bandit on the mouse. also what kind of clear coat do you recomend for this operation.

lol, i love that antenna, too bad the steamer bowl idea didnt work (we need to find a welder!) so first thing after school we gotta pick up some more paint and move everything to the workbench in the basement, everythings set up except the fans. we can use my digicam and take better pics of the speakers too. oh, and i talked to my mom about the junk yard, and she said its all replacement car parts, not random stuff like we thought. i'll talk to you more about at the bus stop.

These are my speakers undergoing the pirate transformation.

plan is from silver speakers with black grill to black sopeaker with white grill and eventually have skull and crossbones on em.
