MDD Case Mod 1

A Clear Vision of a G4

I got the inspiration for this mod after seeing a site on how this guy did a similar thing to his iBook. Knowing the two's physical case constructions were very similar I used the same principles on my tower.

MOD Goal: Take a stock Mirror Drive Door Dual Processor G4 Tower, and make all the plastic clear, or a transparent shade of some cool color (dark blue, dark teal etc).

Status: Success

Total Time: 4 days

Difficulty: intermediate/expert (due to some dismantling complexities)
