Visor Modding..?

Hey, I'm a big Computer Case modder, joined hardocp and virtualhideout for this. For those who dont know what case modding is it's take your ugly looking comp case and either putting a window in it with a cold cathode light inside to light it up and/or spray painting it to a car finish. Just wondering if any one has done something similar to their Visor and if there are sites that show something like this. Thanks.

I actually don't know how possible this would be -

A Computers case is metal - and thus can hold up with the middle missing. The visor of course is a thin plastic - And I don't think it would even hold up to a little bit of dremeling... AND - expecially with the prism, thecool stuff it underthe first motherboard

Definantly worth thetry if you have spare plastics.

I'm getting a Prism pretty soon from Dell. I heard about the proiblems with the paint on it. I experienced the same with my Platinum. And if it started to wear off on my Prism then i'm just gonna sand it down and put an nice coat of paint of it. And maybe change the LED ont he bottom to blue We'll have to wait and see, dont know what the inside of it looks like yet.

clear buttons are cool

okay, we just have GOT to get some of those clear buttons, and I'd love to replace my blue prism case with a clear one. Does anyone know where to get this stuff in America? Or, maybe several of us go in together and get one of those nice souls in Japan to mail them to us? Whaddya think?
