I want to buy an old A600 (because its portable and cool).. but I want a nice sparkly white one. Is it possible to clean a yellow case with JIF or something to make it white again?
Spray paint. You can make it any color you like. The case on the 600 or the 1200 comes off easily enough. Hang it on a wire coat hanger and play "body shop" with it. I don't recommend bleach because it changes the plastic.
I have a frankenputer here with Linux on it. When I bought the used AMD 200 for 25 US it had been painted a flat olive drab, and abused. So it was a scratched up OD green. Application of a can of satin black to the case cover and bezel made it look like a brand new machine. (Run like a brand new machine, different matter, but I digress)
Oh and never by a computer from a smoker. What smoke does to the insides of computers is terrible. The outside is bad enough.
