I have this old Compaq that I found in a dumpster (yes that one again).
As you may know, I'm using it as a MP3/File Server and it sits with my entertainment center.
Here 's a pic of what the case originally looked like.
But it had already been painted black when I found it.
I was hoping to be able to get some suggestions and tips on how to make it look cool.
I need to give it a new shiny black paintjob.
What kinds of paint would be best?
I'm also thinking it would be cool if I could change the power button to something cooler like this or these
Also wondering if there is a way to make it so the CD Drive doesn't show. There is no actual drive -- it's just the cover.
Any other suggestions to give it a sleek HTPC look on a budget? Nothing tacky or crazy
