I thought it would be cool to have a fluorescent case.

I was wrong about fluorescent paint being cool .... it rubs off on everything that it touches. I sprayed on a few coats of clear finish to stop the paint loss. The clear finish, of course, killed the glow.

Now I'm totally tired of painting - decided to wallpaper instead.

The green rectangle hovering over the motherboard is the internal part of the PW-70 power supply. There is also an external AC adapter that provides 12V DC, similar to what you have for a laptop.

Well, the wallpaper was only cute for a couple of days of use. Sponge Bob went along with all of the paint.

Since these pictures were taken, I've polished it with rubbing compound and finished it with just plain paste wax.
