- raven001, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3The end result was quite stunning, but I really like the plain white better. Apple computers are always so nice looking I don't think I'd ever want to mod the case.
- jpetticrew, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I woulda left it clear
- Oatmeal, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That green is ugly as hell. He made it worse. No digg.
- dizzoknows, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'd go this route, had I the money. They'll do custom jobs for non-Apple laptops, too.

but it's still cool, so i digg. - Motobike_man, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1http://www.colorwarepc.com/products/default.aspx
- snugsoho, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Found them... http://www.grahamhicks.com/archives/000022.php
- jasongetsdown, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This in no way approaches the laser etched powerbook. He should have added a racing stripe.
- stephdau, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Sounds like you guys need a trip to AppleFritter's hack section... http://www.applefritter.com/hacks
- Kryptonitfusion, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0not a great color...but good mod. transparent would;ve been nice perhaps.
- bradeshbach, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0it looks like crap guys...
look at all the cracking and the color isnt even. - silentauthority, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It looks great white. That's apple's color. sheesh
- FriedGeek, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yikes! I like the idea of it but man that bottom coat sucked. The G4s are built differently than the G3s. The G4 iBooks have a 'solid' white plastic case rather than the reverse painted clear plastic. It's to bad MAC SKINZ don't make... uh... Mac Skinz anymore. (Just iPod stuff)
digg for effort - etx313, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Wow, he... spraypainted it. Imagine that.
- dravidian, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Dug for not using the word "hack" :)
- TimmyK., on 10/12/2007, -0/+0>>>posted by caylorb "I've seen many of these mods for ibooks, but they're all G3s. Does anyone know if the G4 case is made the same way that the paint will come off?"
My G4 iBook (one of the new 14 inch models that just came out in September) has all solid white molded plastic, not the painted clear plastic like the one in this article. I was actually a bit surprised because I never knew that the iBook ever had that painted clear plastic case. I think it is a bad way of doing it, but it does seem to be a pretty convenient thing for modding them like this. - spiderland, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It ain't easy being green. And it's ugly.
- r©ain, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Whooooa... I'm like *greeeeeen* with envy!
Or wait... "Dude, have ran a virus checker on your mac... it looks like it's about to puke!"
Or wait... let me guess, his system name is "Green Machine"
Or wait... "green, it's the new lame".
Yeah... lame. Lame green... like key lame pie.
If there was a way to anti-digg, I would have clicked 10 times. - nicheplayer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0And that's coming from a guy who owned a Key Lime iBook....
- nicheplayer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Good God that's ugly.
- MisterKen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'm not sure what is worse...the sick green color of the original or that disturbing Eve in colonelpanic's link. Hmmm..... Has anyone with taste modded their iBook?
- FarcicalFart, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That's ugly...
- Klowner, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That'd be fun to use as an airbrush canvas, rather than just one solid color.
- colonelpanic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It's bee done lots before- this project was done in April 04': http://www.macmod.com/content/view/85/2/
you'd be suprised how much stuff people have done. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I've seen many of these mods for ibooks, but they're all G3s. Does anyone know if the G4 case is made the same way that the paint will come off?
- WermerSkoch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Does anybody know if any of the ipods have the same sort of paint job as the G3 iBook? For instance, could I do something similar to what this guy did to get the white paint off the inside of my ipod?
- mrhaines, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is the third story about the same thing like 2 weeks. I can't believe people digg this *****.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0cool idea but i wouldn't want to do that
- snugsoho, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Apple should sue him for doing that... it looks bloody horrible. I have seen some really good skins for 12" iBooks in the past but since I swapped my iBook for an iMac I never kept the bookmark. Stupid me.
- foxhoundadmin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i'm suprised nobody's said it.
dupe. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0that looks like a fat chick wearing a g string while doing arobics
- lollerskates, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'd buy a black iBook if they made one.
- da_bradler, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0looks like a ton of work but I would kill to make my iBook blue or black:O black is the new white
- timbtwisted, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0WTF? Why? I have this great looking white laptop and of all things to do to it this guys paints it some ugly ass green. Poor mac it didn't deserve that.
- Rojahon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0so what... it's green...
- prosinader, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It is always fun to mod things g_byte, Mac users are no different.
I have modified Mac and Windows machines myself (poorly). For my rendition of the iBook G3, I removed the white paint and printed a picture I also modified featuring a blue watery planet with a figure rising out or that water with blots of lightening shooting from his hands that stop at the glowing Apple logo on the iBook. I added a caption to the bottom of the screen reads 'In the beginning, God created Apple...And it was good'. The original can be found on www.digitalblasphemy.com - damonj, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0What if you were to paint the other side of the plastic casing white or whatever color? Would it give the gen 1 ipod effect? someone be my guinie pig and post pictures.
- kenpod, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0the idiot just ruined an awesome laptop.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0@TimmyK: "Or how about if somebody went to a site about religion, and constantly posted complaints about all the Jesus articles? And they constantly pushed their anti-Jesus agenda? And they were so obsessive about it that they kept posting comment after idiotic comment to try to bug the people that don't care at all about what they think about Jesus?"
Or, WHAT IF you really did care, which is why you just took the time to make 2 more comments in reply to my idiotic comments? OR, you were annoyed.
Either way: Bzzzt. You lose. - hwood, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hmmmm...
No sir, I don't like it. - hyphn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0is that Green, as in Newton?
- meekar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0oh man ... he should've left it transparent, that would've been awesome
- noeljohnhoward, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0dupe
i remember this from a while ago - TimmyK., on 10/12/2007, -1/+0>>>posted by g_byte "Don't you get annoyed when people try to push their religous beliefs on you?
How would you feel if I posted three stories a day about how Jesus Christ is your lord and savior and how you should try to become closer to him?"

- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0TimmyK, fsck you. Apple is used less than MS. Deal with it, and accept the fact that it's OK to post comments about an article on Digg!
- r©ain, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0@g_byte
You're right, we should all just STFU about Apple.
I mean who cares?
Now lets get back to our regularly scheduled Windows Virus of the day posts - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0If you look on his blog (here: )
It says Occupation: Full time Apple lover!!!
Now, I'm sure that this guy has a personal agenda. Just look at this page and some of the comments at the bottom of it: http://www.freewebs.com/appleland/memorial.htm
What a loser. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1looks like crap. Macs suck.
- TimmyK., on 10/12/2007, -2/+0>>>posted by g_byte "Why do we need all of this Apple news when so few people actually use Apple computers?"
Why do you bother reading the articles, posting comments about them, and tracking the activity and identities of those who submit them? -
