$ 400 extra for black is a bit pricey

Where else are you going to find a new black iBook? Apple only makes them in white

You can paint the top in the bottom, but the plastics around the keyboard will still remain white. You could also replace the keyboard with a Titanium G4 Keyboard if you are talking iBook G3.

Well, I looked at that website. That's pretty lame. The keyboard and trackpad are still white. I now it would be hard to change the color, but hell, for $400 I expected something a little bit more.

The quality of the ColorWare paint job is quite a bit higher than you'd see were you to pay 'that Bobby kid' around the corner to do it for you or do it yourself.

Might not be worth it for the iBook, but for the iMac I think it definitely is if you're really wanting something other than white.
