hi there,

now i dont want to sound negative, but i have just thrown two of these in a skip, mainly because the work it would take, outweighed the result.

the chassis is made of 2 mm steel (usualy) and is not at all easy to work with, also mods have to be made to make an ATX mobo fit in there.

but if you are hell bent on modding it and have the time, then a HTPC would be an ideal choice.

as for painting it, there should be know problem, light sand, prime and paint.

let us know how you get on, not many of these now that have been modded
