Madshrimps Forum Madness - Old, OLD school ;)

Hi guys, I started a new project today ( I start alot of projects ) and decided to do the log here on madshrimps

BACKGROUND:
Anyways my dad brought home an old desktop computer from work that has been there for about 10 years now. He still used the thing! And he was having problems w/ his files not opening. Well I checked it out and the problem was...the damn thing is just too old

So I figured I could rejuvinate this old thing and make a cool little desktop pc for the workshop area downstairs. use it to post pictures etc.. w/o having to run 2 story's up to go on my pc. Or Maybe have a webcam going while i'm working so people can watch me sit around and scratch myself

BEGINNING:
Since the case has plastic sides, I can't go for a polished bare metal look, so I am going to paint it. I'm not quite sure on what color I want to paint it yet, but something simple like black, or dark dark blue.

So I broke the case down, opened it, and it was worse than I expected...

Pretty bad eh? Well i took a vacuum to it and its mostly cleaned out, but it made me hack up a lung or 2 in the process

Even got dust on my shirt just from carrying the damn thing

Here it is all broken down:

The only other thing I did tonight was begin sanding down the top. I plan to cut out a few holes for windows on top, put molding around them. Then paint it black or blue as I said above.

BEFORE:

AFTER:

As you can tell I didnt' get quite finished, but my parents were getting a lil pissed at all the racket (11:30 p.m.)

I will continue the work tomorow, and go way more into depth about what I'm planning to do.

EDIT: hmm, seems my code isn't working, strange...it works on all the other sites. JMKE!
edit by JM: fixed
