    That's a nice shine, if maybe a little rough around the edges. I can see how it might be mesmerizing, though... :)

    Well, it's my first time doing this, and ehm, I know it doesn't look good...but didn't wanna spend to much time on this, because i'm planning to paint the laptop later on.

    And while I was on it, the fan also began to roar like an airplane, so I had to tear down the damn thing and replace it.

    First the CD-ROM drive, then the fan.

    Thank god I have lot of spareparts for laptops.

    Its like an old car that constantly breaks down...

    Oh, no, you did a pretty decent job. The only obvious issues I can see are the corners, where it seems the paper didn't quite fold down.
