A3000 case
« on: March 23, 2007, 10:39:39 AM »
There is an A3000 for sale on a Dutch ads site (www.marktplaats.nl), but the person who is selling it has painted (!) the case white because it was probably yellowed as hell.

I might be interested in this machine, but if I buy it, I really want the original colored case. Does anyone have a non/very little yellowed A3000 case (from a tower project or a dead A3000) for sale? I can't imagine the horror having to look a a white (and I mean WHITE) A3000 case all the time :-o

I've been bidding on the other A3000, which is still original.
This one doesn't have any bids yet. Probably because of the color? :lol: (damn it's ugly, maybe black would have been better...)

OMG. I totally agree. I couldn't stand looking at it. It looks like it's been coated with cheap wall primer. Plus... just like black (although black is ubercool), white is one of the worst colour a machine can be.

Most people don't realize that they made computers in various shades of beige because that's the colour of dust (90% of the dust inside your house being your own dead skin). So a beige box always looks cleaner than any other colour.

If you're gonna paint over a computer, at least make a decent job of it like that ubercool (word of the day btw) teal 1200 I've seen here in the pics section.
