I just got a free computer off craigslist which I was happy about. the lady even gave me the receipt that said it was made in 02 and cost 1000 bucks. it is a p4 1.8ghz and 512mb of ram and a decent gpu. atleast good enough to use ubuntu special effects.
its funny cause she gave it away cause her nephew watched porn on it, and it got a virus so she thought it was trash. hahaha. ok, now for the main point. it is grey and has a blue plastic on the front and is really ulgy. and i want to spray paint it black. I googled around, and every method involves hours of different sanding and makes it really shiny which i dont even really want. is there an easier way? and is it neccessary to reamove the inside if im only painting the outside? i was thinking i could just tape over any buttons or something, sand it once, and spray paint it. is this a good idea? |

CODE free -mt MHz means almost nothing for RAM. it's timings and DDR vs DDR2 vs DDR3. That rig probably has 266 MHz DDR or 133 MHz SDRAM. |
