I guess if the outside was scratched all to hell I wouldnt care if they were
gutted. A cude in pristine running condition would be kind of expensive to
gut like what he did. Where in that auction did he say they started off as
full working computers (if its there I missed it).
I personally dont go for the case mods at all, I would only repaint a
computer if it had major cosmetic damage such as extreme yellowing and or
deep scratches, cracks, etc. The stuff I collect just gets bigger storage,
upgrade cards, peripherals, and such. I dont get into board hacks or
anything that would keep it from going back to stock status. Everything I
remove is kept incase I want to return it to the way I got it (original ram,
HD, video cards, port covers, etc).
