modding a laptop would be pretty hard

you could paint it or something i guess

I really can't think of anything other than maybe using some type of body filler to modify different areas and then painting/airbrushing the whole thing.

But I'm not too sure you can do anything to it that won't make it depreciate in value. Unless it's really tasteful.

Hmmm, maybe check this out. They have some nice mods there.

Hey Blaze...

before you mod that laptop...what's in it and how much $$ ?

[Blazer06]

Okay its a

Dell Inspiron 3500
233MHz PentiumII processor
64Mb RAM
4.3Gb HDD
CD-ROM
Theres a modem / NIC card in one of the PCMCIA slots
Two type-2 PCMCIA slots (one free)
Integerated Sound Card
1 USB Port
1 PS/2 Port
1 Serial Port
1 Parell Port
1 VGA Port
1 Docking Station Port
Battery ... works sometimes. works fine plugged in.
AC adapter
Win98 or Mandrake 9.2 preinstalled.
$200 + Free Shipping (in US)

I can get some pictures, possibaly.


Now, the bad things: (just to be fair)

Power button, and the plate it goes in missing. I managed to solder a wire to spot one, and to turn it one you press the other end of the wire against spot two. Easy and effective.

Right mouse button clicky thing missing. Works fine with an external mouse, however, or if your left handed.

I will be posting this in the traders forum, so dont reply here. If i dont sell it in a week or so then ill take it apart and mod it into something.
