Try a very slightly damp lint-free cloth. That's what I use to wipe the case and screen both clean, and it's worked so far.

I use a damp wash cloth to clean, then a dry one to polish. works Great!
15" Macbook Pro 1.83 2 GB RAM
Blackbook 13.3 Powerhouse 2 GB RAM
MacMini Dual Core 2 GB RAM (Sadly running Windows Most of the time)
Numerouse Workstations running windows and Linux. Sorry don't have the specs, I don't pay much attention to them anymore. :)

a soft dedicated cloth and rubbing alcohol on all metallic surfaces. Cleans instantly and perfectly. Id keep it away from the screen and keys.

Go to Best Buy and pick up one of this: Monitor Wipes. I know it's for monitor uses, but it does wonders too cleaning the rest of the Powerbook. They are pretty cheap too. This is what I use to keep my 17inch Powerbook looking like new even when it's almost a year old.

I agree. Target sells a three pack (yellow, green and blue) of these large lint free micro fiber towels. They are located on the auto isle. I usually damp one and wipe the whole PB down including the screen, keyboard etc., and then finish with a dry one. Works great.
