Of all Apple computers I like the small iBook's looks best, really. I am surprised people don't mod them more - not that they need modding, but they are so neutral that many kind of alterations would work.

It is very, very easy to pop the lid off of the LCD on an iBook. You can do it with the machine on so you can test the mod. I basically put a blue colored gel over the light (after cutting away the diffuser that is already on there). I couldn't find a legit gel, so I made mine with inkjet transparency paper. I've changed the color a few times, and realized it needs to be darker than you think. I just wish the case was like the old G3 cases, where you could strip the paint and paint the inside.
