Re: Pimp-my-Dell
Guess what? I was just looking at your pix and had some more ideas that you might want to use on your mod. First off I think you should chrome out the grill on the back. Second if you want to use some diamond/jewels you could use them on the head on the buttons/screws/bolts. Third if you're planning on leaving the star design that's on top of the case you should do something to make it stand out more, maybe a different paint color or cut the pattern out and light it up from the inside.

Re: Pimp-my-Dell
Hmm I like the star design idea.
Here's what I was thinking-
- DELL spelled out in rhinestone letters on front or side.
- An automotive hood ornament for the top. I was thinking something expensive like lambo, or porshe but even the hood ornaments are expensive. So I will probably settle for Catillac because they appear to be cheap and prolific on ebay.

Why spell out Dell? Why advertise Dell when the whole idea modding is to make it your own? If you're going to spell out something why not make it your own, something like a cool name for the mod.

I want to keep it Dell to pay homage to its roots. Sorta like its still the same system just 'pimped out'. I can understand why most of the modders here would remove any brand naming from their mods, but for this keeping it fits my theme.

Re: Pimp-my-Dell
Erm, what are these twenty-fours of which you speak?
Re: Pimp-my-Dell
Awesome! I love it... +rep for sheer bling coolness...
Cool ideas others have mentioned, and places to get them... or ideas I had...
1. You can go to a junkyard with a flatnosed screwdriver and get yourself an auto emblem for 2 or 3 bucks.
2. You can go to any pep boys, or discount auto parts and buy a whole set of fake spinners for 40 bucks, experiment on 3 and mount the final product.
3. You can go to any claire's, spencers, or hot topic in the mall, and buy yourself a ton of rhinestones and bling gems.
4. Also at the auto parts store you can find yourself a little of that fringe with the balls... or maybe a little fringed flag of your nationality.
5. Go back to the junkyard where you got the emblem, find yourself a little whip antenna.
6. Pinstripe a soundwave or a heartbeat wave on the side of the case the way the "boom cars" did in the 80s.
7. Put a pair of teeny speakers from a clock radio or a walkman on the back in a little carpet covered box so they look like 12 inch subs.

That would be pimp. Or better yet, use the PC speaker.
