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.

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.

I love the stealth G4s. Care to share any details on how the mod was done?

After seeing this post, we had to post pics of our "Stealth" modded B&W G3s (upgraded to G4s) and one Graphite G4. Here's a link to check them out:

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? :-/

The top plastic panel is missing! I like it otherwise.

IMHO I think the case would be strikingly set off if the apple was painted either in silver or gold.

I don't like it. I think it would have helped if he painted the whole case black, including the handles.

Very slick, would go perfectly with a black MB or iPod. In fact paint the Apple logo red, perfect with a U2 iPod...
