Rig of the Day: The black Blue and White G3
While perusing our Flickr pool this morning, we decided, "It's time for a mod post." Behold the Blue and White G3 that's been painted black. It looks pretty good, Geoff."Power Mac G3 Black Mod" posted by GeoffMyers.
If you'd like to see your own rig featured here, simply upload photos into our group Flickr pool. We select one image to highlight each day, and crown a Rig of the Week on Sundays.

I'll have to get with the Tim and see if he wants to post a howto. I know he was working on one, but he kept getting sidetracked.

Hi guys. Thanks a lot for your comments! :-) Just a few notes: I originally painted all the plastic panels (including the top one) black, but, for some odd reason, I couldn't get the top black panel back on. Perhaps, it could be because the original handles were slightly different than the PMG4 Quicksilver handles I used? :-/
