Nursing Station is nearly finished. Took apart the case and keyboard today and painted them and repainted the mouse. I'm no Van Gogh!

The machine on my desk fully functioning and ready to be spruced up:

And the painted items drying in the kitchen - sorry there is not much detail between these stages but a) I'm knackered and b) most of you, IMHO, know how to use a screwdriver :

In the picture above you can see how I paint CD/DVD drives: eject the drive, turn it off, slip out the front panel, mask up around the tray with paper and tape, leaving the front panel a little lower than the front of the drawer so I can paint the lot without taking the thing to pieces completely.

Below is the power button. I'm actually much more interested in the photograph in the newspaper it is standing on ... I buy newspapers not to read but to paint on and clean windows .. that story I must read now.

As I mentioned this is a machine being donated to a student nurse. It's a Pentium III 733MHz with 512MB RAM, 40Gig HDD and 128M ATi ALL-IN-WONDER graphics card and Creative Soundblaster soundcard in her.

Using Nlite I slipstreamed service pack 4 into my SP3 version of win 2K, then cut windows down to the bone - reducing the iso from over 330MB to under 220MB and also set it up for a unattended install which which worked like clockwork.

Nice little pentium III giving it burn in trials yesterday it's quite happy to watch fullscreen DVD's - plays great, fullscreen Youtube video's, webrowsing and office applications all installed along with some special medical applications I had around and an antivirus (Antivir) and firewall (ZoneAlarm).

Tomorrow I reconstruct the case, keyboard and mouse, re-install all the hardware inside and spray the eject button on the DVD drive.

Pictures will be forthcoming

I'll try and snap one of the recipient for Jon

Can't rebuild the Nursing Station yet as the paint is not set. It's gone off enough that I can handle the pieces gently so ... Here's a taster, a mock up:

And something I'm almost ashamed to reveal.

Well I'm posting from nursing station. A video I took from my fuji finepix camera that auto installed is currently uploading to youtube in another tab. Will add it to this post as an edit. The front is being resprayed by a professional car sprayer tomorrow as I made a complate balls up of it.

The vid is of a DVD playing on my 20" Dell monior fullscreen on nursing station. It's a black and white movie and also I captured the newly refurbished machine. Only the new front and the keyboard to rebuild.
