Got a tad bored the other day, so I painted my monitor, mouse and keyboard......

The keyboard and mouse match my case, which is black outside, yellow inside) , and the monitor is Ford Calypso Blue.

Those MS Intllimouses are pretty easy to disassemble, but popping each of the keys out of the keyboard was a PITA.......
 
u took apart the monitor by yourself? what precautions did you take in doing that?

Yup:) Be very careful!

There is a lot of charge stored in the internal gubbins of a monitor. Leave it off for a few hours before you start, and don't touch anything electrical inside.......
 
yea some of us have learned the hard way about the capacitors inside a monitor kinda of a hmm I wonder if their any voltage in this bbzzzzzt ow why you ********* so never touch any thing that looks like it could hold voltage
 
Looks good.

Sometimes you just need a good jump start. those capacitors work wonders ;)
