Ok this is probably a very stupid question but I can't figure it out. My webdesigner was going to transfer the new barebones website over to my current host. I can create a subdomain and an ftp for him to log in on but won't he need access to cpanel? If so how to I create an account for...
From what I know there were something like 4 different LCDs for the C2D Macbook Pros: Samsung, LG, Chi Mei, and some generic compatible. Are these all the same? Can I mismatch replacements? From what I remember the only physically different one is the Chi Mei brand which had different bezel...
Let me start by saying it's a prototype. I have a feeling there's going to be some reception issues with a plated case but maybe some of you can help where I'm not an expert.
Since the 3G housing is plastic that means I can laser engrave holes, squares, whatever into the housing before...
So I was told the september issue of maxpc came out this week so I guess it's ok to post this. Here's the smoke nickel plated Blackbird I did. My photos were not professional shots at all so they sent this over. Turned out pretty good especially considering the time constraints.
In between all these gold laptops, I managed to get these two things. Shipping had to be expensive, they weigh a good 40-50lbs. Teaser pic. More to come in a few weeks/month/whenever it's published.
Originally aiming for the polished gold keyboard and trackpad but after 20-some odd test panels, all of them looked too lemon yellow to match. So we stuck to the standard flat/metallic look. I'll save saying who it's for till I know they've received it as it's supposedly a present. Don't want...
So I've had this sitting in the shop for the last month waiting on the jewelry. I wasn't really happy with the look of the jewelry (the green isn't as dark as I had hoped) but I couldn't stand waiting any longer for different stones to arrive...can't complain too much. Anyway it's done enough...
Hey all I've been looking for some Christian Audigier artwork (like what you see on the clothes) but in a high res wallpaper, or better yet, vector art. Anyone know if such things exist?
Not sure if this is the right place (if not, mods please move it) but I'm looking for a graphics capable guy or gal to design some a cd insert (10 or so squares front and back) for me. Willing to pay whatever it takes for the right stuff. Or if you know of someone, that'd help too.
Just...
I'm no photographer so forgive me..The editing is terrible too. I should have some professional shots done up sometime soon. I originally went for black nickel but decided against it. I ordered quite a few frames to try out so my next choices are probably yellow 24kt yellow, rose, and maybe...
Go figure something completely random would mess with me this week.
One of our MBP's was working perfect and randomly the screen went dark (2% backlight?) after rebooting. At first I had thought one of our diamond inlays was pressing too hard against the screen or had damaged it. Tried and...
Finished this 17" MBP up earlier this week. I received a mess of different sample finishes earlier this week also.. I've been meaning to post them but haven't the time to photograph them all. People keep asking for platinum and white gold (though white isn't very pretty at all) so I'm working...
Hi all,
Looking to stock up on Macbook Pro 15" housings (top cover, display housing, bottom casing, screen bezel, etc. Also would take screws, batteries (dead or alive), memory door covers, and other miscellaneous parts.
Let me know what you have and the price you're looking to get. Parts...
24kt isn't exactly practical for these things especially polished but they look good. 18kt brushed would have a been something a little more durable.
Also, if anyone knows the secret to getting the glass out of these things, I'm all ears. I'd really like to finish it up by plating the bezel...
I noticed they sell the regular english version as well as the spanish version. What other places get different keyboards and does anyone have pictures of said keyboards?
Not quite finished with the MBP but here's the bottom side of the laptop. Things aren't going as fast as I had planned but if all the pieces would turn out like this, I'd be happy. Easier said than done though, the top cover was destroyed by a careless plater.
I was curious if anyone ever knew the stats on the most popular laptops year to year. Do the big name brands like dell/lenovo/toshiba/sony/apple ever release that kind of info?
I've been meaning to start this thing for a while but I don't often take pics of my work unless it's a major project. I'm working on fixing that. Most of this work is for different clients. I'll just bump once I have something to update. Enjoy.
(edit: I really need to update this more...
So apparently christmas = laptops for everyone. Here was one of 4 I've done since thanksgiving. There's a few more on the way to the shop this week so that should be fun. I don't usually get requests for girly colors so that's why I took pics.
This one is leaving for pinstripes but I'm not...
Just finished this case the other day. The guy wanted a transformers theme and listed off what he wanted on each panel. Black paint, show quality, etc. Sorry for the bad pictures, I only had it completed for a few minutes before he came and got it. I usually don't take any.

What do you folks think of this laptop? It pains me to see something so simple be marketed only to the rich. The idea for adding interchangable parts (whether fabric or otherwise) has been around forever but they're pretty much the only...
I was looking at the apple collection (website) the other day and was actually impressed by the amount of people who draw up ideas for apple products...Most of the products are lame because the designers have no idea how computers function interally but it's still a pretty cool page to check...
Do you need a new case? Need advice on a purchase? Need other's opinions of said case?
POST IT HERE! Modders are standing by to answer.
(this is just a temp thread to see if it might help the newcomers out...)
Can anyone think of an argument as to why case manufacturers shouldn't put production dates on their cases and production totals on their websites?
For example, cars have production dates: 2006 Toyota Camry ...... 80,000 sold in 2006 (made up figures)
Why don't cases have production...
I expect nothing less than this when you mod for now on :D
When I do this on a case, don't laugh at me. The Digg case needs some diamonds too. Not so much the etching because that's expensive.
Grill = CZ
Logo = real diamonds
Before I start, let me just say I know jack about power supplies and electronics in general.
A VFD I'm using needs a 5v and 24v input. Seeing as though a regular ATX has only 12v, what are my ways getting 24, if any. If you're wondering how I'm getting the VFD to work, I have others doing...
I keep looking around for the dell 2405 dimensions but they are of no help. I'm trying to get an average height of most 24" monitors.
I was looking for the height of a dell 2405. Height from the bottom of the monitor bezel to the top. Anyone got an answer to that, it'd be great. It beat's...
It's time for another big project. Not as big as the last case though. This time I'm turning my attention towards a tech related theme:
The goal of this case is to make it as user friendly as possible and, of course, to look good. Some of my other cases have required a bit of effort...
Hey guys I'm at a loss of where to find thumbscrews that are long (like 1" or so) with a regular thumbscrew head or even something decorative. Regular size 6-32
Looking for an online place.
I'm a complete newbie when it comes to VFD's so if anyone can answer this, that'd be great. I'd like to have a VFD display news site feeds like cnn, fox, digg, etc. I've seen a few VFD's that can do it through cat5 connections but is it possible to have it through USB instead? Can any VFD be...
