EDITED BITS: Damn, I STILL haven't gotten this thing all figured out yet and my install date is TOMORROW! Does anyone know how I can correct the above URL to just display the image? I still can't call tech support until tomorrow...

...the PC is actually final and a little cuter. The speakers are pink now too where they're white in the picture, and I finished a keyboard that has the same translucent hot-pink frame and I hand painted all the keys pink & lettered 'em in gold. (Oh, and painted an old Intellimouse Optical pink to replace the ball-wheel one...I NEED a scroll-wheel!)

really cute pic digi, and you did a fanastic job of the pc, your daughter certainly has your features, and as your wife wont let me see what she looks like ill have to say she looks like you !

this might sound like a lame question here, but what is the "fluffy" material you have around the monitor? (I didnt fully read your last articles so forgive me if you have posted that info already) The reason im asking is static buildup.

No, she's a dead ringer for me wife as is her brother...it's where they get there good looks from. (But they sure get there attitude from me! )

I believe it's formal name is "fluffy pink boa-like stuff", at least that's what I've been referring to it as. It's a nylon artificial fur that probably might build up static, especially the way the cats roll around on it. But with the amount of abuse I'm expecting that rig to take, static was sort of the last of me considerations.

Thankfully Compaq used to build their cases like fricking tanks, me daughter can dance on it without hurting it. (And she has, oh yes she has. ) The monitor is generall covered with a liberal coating of cheese from me daughters macaroni & cheese lunch in front of the computer tradition that started a couple of weeks ago, but I've been trying to keep it cleaner.

She's pulled off that pink fuzzy twice so far, but it glues on easy. I have to do a "restorative treatment" to her decorations every couple of three weeks to put the bits she pries off back on, I'm hoping to run out to the craft store where I got that pink stuff and pick up some extry in case this gets trashed.

It hasn't hurt the performance of the PC at all though, it's un-fricking believably stable!

[Zardon]

its an impressive kids machine and id give you certainly 10 out of 10 for creativity. bet she loves her old man

Hey, Dig,

Unless you use Premium Yahoo, you won't be able to direct link to images posted there. I used this for a long time until they changed it last year. Now I have to use my ISP storage (or some other such freebie site) and use the IMG direct link to that.

Hope this helps.
