Really? wow lol thats kinda sucky sucky.

Well, I just finished painting my monitor and my mouse in black using Krypton (or Kryton) flat black spray paint. Anyways, now that the headache is gone (yes I painted in my basement... not a good idea DONT DO THAT) Its looking dead sexy. The monitor is a Dell 2001 Trinitron and the mouse is Microsoft IntelliMouse Optical. I painted the white shell and buttons black, the grey parts remain grey.

As for other peoples concerns about getting shocked opening the monitor, Dell nicely covered everything with a grounded aluminum cover. Sad part is, I broke the clip for the power button, so now Im using a nail to turn it on.

And my friend got me a blue cathode light too since it was his last day doing co-op. So my computer looks better anyways, and it only cost me 4.99$ CDN for the spray paint, the CCFL was free.

The next thing on the "upgrade" list is a new video card, but since mine is "good" in my eyes, I wont be upgrading for a while. Especially since I dont have any money.

I'm pretty sure on the back of the can in big letters it will say "use in a well ventilated area" reading safety instructions is for your good as well as the companys lawsuit protection

Yea it does. But me being me I wasent too bright and thought the size of the basement was enough to disapate the odor. Its only after the headache I decided to open the window.

As for photos, I cant provide any at the moment, my dad put the camera in a "safe location" IE: He lost it somewhere in the house.
