Asus eeePC Mod Workshop

Re: Asus eeePC Mod Workshop

Check out http://www.jimsgunsupply.com/index2.html for some ideas then.. I think they were one of the first to actually make and sell them. I'm sure not to many folks would question the manhood of a guy holding a pink AK.. It may be pink, but it is still an AK.

i have actually given serious consideration to doing a wickedly outrageous paint job when i take one of my AR lowers and get a parts kit to build a full rifle. after all, since it's in pieces anyway... why not go for the gold right there? the folks at Duracoat now have a whole line of shades they call the "Bloomberg Collection" which includes pink. how amazingly secure in my manhood would i clearly be if i showed up at the next DC-Shoot with a Hello Kitty M-4?

I rather have the Hello Kitty AK. :-)

Go Go valanx!

I just wanted to check in with everyone to see if anyone ended up with a new machine or has seen a new trick they were interested in checking out. But mainly, I just wanted to say *hi!*

Re: Asus eeePC Mod Workshop

I don't have an eeepc around to look at and see how easy it is to take apart, if it isn't a pain I'd do that, it makes for a better end result. The last laptop I painted I used acrylics on, because I wanted to put some texture along with the colors.

I thought about putting some metal leaf and then clear coating the surface, but that was in a different country and I didn't really have access to everything I wanted for art projects.

Re: Asus eeePC Mod Workshop

What are you painting with?

Will probably be airbrush or spray paint. Am a bit worried about getting spray particles inside my computer, but I know that's why tape was invented.

My dell desktop case seems pretty happy with spray paint, so will probably go with that if i have to cheap out. Noid mentioned some paint to me this weekend which I will have to track down and probably try out. Will post more when I remember what it is.

Re: Asus eeePC Mod Workshop

Has anyone painted their eee yet? I'm about to, can't decide on what to put on it!

pink with hello kitty! no, it's not an over-used reference at all in this world... surely hasn't been beaten to death yet.

heh, but seriously... the more obscure and non-fuzzy a thing is, the more awesome a hello kitty decoration theme is. if i had a huge collection of old Jeeps (and hopefully one day when i'm independently wealthy i will) one will be crazy J-Pop teenage girl hello kitty style.

and then, of course, there's also this awesomeness...

Re: Asus eeePC Mod Workshop

Maybe you'll have to expand your village name one year if the scope of hardware keeps growing.

We were actually talking about that. Just of the sale of continuity we're sticking with Wireless Village, at least for the moment. We may do some handouts or something saying "Wireless Village: Wireless and a whole lot more!' or something along those lines just so people know.

Re: Asus eeePC Mod Workshop

I noticed on the main site and here in the forums the "new" hardware hacking village. Is this new area from this idea and adjacent/part of the wireless village or something different. I haven't seen a post there yet but was wondering if this eeePC mod should be part of that.

The Asus Eee PC mod workshop will be hosted by the Wireless Village. We're also looking to host other hardware hacking projects that don't yet have a space.

Right, we already have a sub-committee going on this.
