Q80,
I am here buddy! Actually, in a couple of months or so, I should be ready to post a pretty extensive post on my total, major transformation of my TR2.
I will be receiving the body parts of the laptop on Monday and have all I need to have it painted professionally, yes, I am painting my TR2 black. I have a friend who works at a body shop so I am having the TR2 painted - pieces taken apart and ready for painting.
Once I get the black pieces back, I will take this laptop apart and put the guts into the black one, complete with major upgrades.
Two other components hold this up - a 60GB SSD drive from Samsung and the heatsink mod. Once those have been acquired, I will do this and when I do, I will be sure to post a long reply
Hang in there!
