That's some real nice "case modding" I see there :)

I should get my laptop signed by someone important too. Like I don't know, Linus probably. And get some case-modding done. And stuff.

Case modding takes real work, though. I just had to find the guy and talk him into signing it -- the nice part was that he used silver ink that matched the look of the shell. It looks like it was "designed" that way. Some of the Apple mods I've seen out there are really intense (ditto for the PC mod community, I'm sure).

There isn't much difference really, it's just ripping apart the outside and making it something else. Inside's the only thing that's different, so.

But... My ThinkPad... It's so smooth... It has scratches, but ones that are very fine, the kinds that are meant to stay there... Aww... Can't cut it...

that is awesome... i have always wanted to paint my laptop (like cool anime battle scene), but have always been too afraid of messing it up.

I put a half-life 2 sticker on my laptop..... with the white lambda symbol over the glowing apple. It was a little crooked, I spent like 5 tries to get it straight before I ended up messing up the ahdesive.... so i tried to take it off, only to find out that I didn't take all of it off

I ended up using WD-40 to take off all the stickiness

Man that looks shiny..
BMX and surfing stickers adorn my laptop, with a crazy monkey over the middle.
