I 'inherited' a lime green iMac 400 Slot load DVD system. Amazingly it runs OS9.2 really good but it is a hideous color. I know that color won't hurt performance any but I would like to know if the cases can be swapped out with other colors. I kinda like the graphite or even plain white. Hey its an Apple - It needs to look cool!

Anyone have any pointers on whether you can change the case color? If so, would you point me to a site that sells the cases? I Googled it and am having no luck.

Thx,

Mark

you normally can find them on ebay, as far as how to do it, try an iMac Service Manual.

Manuals:

eBay iMac cases:
http://search.ebay.com/search/search...p;BasicSearch=


Cases go for around $20-$40

cases used to go for 60 bucks. I have a blueberry slot-loading case in perfect shape. email me if you're interested.
If this post is in the Lounge forum, it is likely to be my own opinion, and not representative of the position of MacNN.com.

Lime green kicks ass

Why? It's the color of the fastest most modified 1st gen iMac on earth.
