*Pimp my PC*
Posted by Robert Lambie on December 23, 2005 at 6:48 pmNot exactly signs, but good fun none the less…
the following is a computer andrew has bought for his wee girl for xmas.
she wanted something pink and loves the cartoons that are featured below. having searched high and low for a pink PC and the like he gave up after only being able to locate pink mice and keyboards.
so plan B came into swing….strip down the pc
rub down, etch, spray paint & laquer it pink!
rebuild it
digital print the images from stuff located on the net
apply images & some cut vinyl text…im sure she will love it… 😀

awww bless… this idea has gone through my mind… but not for little girlies though..
the fascia plates on the CDRoms / floppys come off easily.. could do them with spray.. powerup the pc.. eject the CD and hard-power off then release the snap locators on the panel.. panel then slides off the draw.

hi dave
yeh we thought about comp wraps a while back when we just got the grenadeir. but everyone and their auntues are doing them these days.
we could have went all the way and done the drawers etc but we went against it because those are the bits getting solied or chipped the most with continual use.
if you seen our grenedaier. we have spray painted the covers ourselves… looks good and nice n shiney. :lol1: i actualy plan doing a wole new look grenadier, even considered a wrap, but again went against it… oh the flood of ideas you get when you buy a printer. so many possibilities, so little time. 😕 :lol1: -
oh really Rob… you mean you put go faster stripes on it to try and keep it up with the JV3 :lol1: :lol1:
Nik.. vasceline hey nik 😉

does the jv3 actually print more square metres per hour than the grenadier dave?
-
quote Dave Rowland:quite possibly 😉
grenadeirs top speed is about 28 square metres an hour.
is jv3 faster? 😉 -

I have been saved. I found a supplier of hobnobs here in California. They are $3 a pack (the small one). This will definately save me some money from having to keep flying out there to get my fix. 😀
They also have every imaginable type of beer from the UK.
It’s Tetleys, Bodingtons and Guiness for Christmas for me! :lol1:

oh and marick… how did you get LED’s under your beard mate? 😮 :lol1:

oh that is just too cute!
great work – she will love it 🙂 -
i think the grenadier will match our machine anyway.. i think most of it is down to width of machine and how you run the nozzles.
The JV3 is advertised at something like 30sq mtr/hr but we never run it at that. I know you like a bit of banter Rob 😎 -
Thats great Andy, she’s going to love it … fab ….. Great job!! :thumbsup:
We have plans to do our kids pc when they get one … but we need to wait a couple more years yet for them to get a bit older and have there own. Then again Stephani is 3 and she already knows her way around the internet …… well ….. she can find cbeebies no probs :lol1:
