+DarkLord Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 (edited) Sorry for the low-quality picture, but this should still give everyone an idea about what my Falcon looks like now, after some "minor" changes: Wizztronics rack case 425 watt ATX PS CT60 @ 95mhz 256 megs SDRAM 16 megs ST RAM Wizztronics IDE HD controller 80 gig Maxtor HD Plextor 4/12/32 CDRW DEKA keyboard interface FreeKeys case NEC 3D multisync monitor (with multisync gizmo) Running MINT/THing I wired everything so that controls like the on/off switch, CT60 on/off switch, reset button, power and HD LEDs are all up front on the case. Using Krylon Fuzion paint for plastic (as recommended here at Atariage), I painted the monitor, keyboard case, floppy drive faceplate, and CDRW faceplate. My wife is jealous of the attention it has gotten/gets... I like it. :-) Edited March 23, 2006 by DarkLord Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clint Thompson Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 That is hott! Looks like the monitor matches very nicely also! (From what I can see of it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(From what I can see of it) 1003559[/snapback] It does now. :-) I used Krylon Fuzion Black (for plastic) to paint the NEC 3D monitor, keyboard, floppy drive faceplate, and the CDRW faceplate. I wasn't sure about painting the white extension cables for mouse and joystick. I was afraid because they bend it would flake off. All in all, I'm very happy with the results.

If you can't get it in the color you want then perhaps you can try mixing the black plastics paint with it (preferably outside where you have ventilation just in case). There is also black heatshrink tubing but that will require disassembly and care to apply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder how much I'd have to get to be able to put a whole cable length into it? Thanks for the suggestion! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
