question about pimping my computer

hi! was just wondering... how do u open a monitor? like, i was told na kuyaw daw iopen kay mabuak ang tube? i want to take the casing out kay i want to paint it... any ideas, anyone?

and what type of paint is best to use? nag testing rako sa ako keyboard... i used spray paint ra hahaha!! na tang tang man ang paint igka dugayan... is there a paint sealer of some sort?

the back portion sa monitor is easy to open just unscrew the "screw" hehe redundant. its the front portion thats a pain in the lubot. I think u have to partially disassemble the crt tube but i wouldnt recommend it, there lies danger, 20,000Volts na danger the tube can carry this voltage from hours to days even while unplugged thats the killer. You can google for "monitor painting mod". They usually have an easy way of removing the casing without experiencing the joy-joy jolt of happiness . Hope this helps.

Also with regards sa paint to use i've heard professional modders use automotive paint using airbrush para smooth ang finish. You also have to use wetsanding after every coat of paint para even ang coating.

hahaha... you'd better watch out, or you'll see my spirit lurking around your house...

you wont find it that funny when you see how a screwdriver turned into pieces of molten metal pellets when it shorted the high voltage terminals.

i won't be seeing it coz i decided not to open it myself; i'd let the professional do this, but i think i'll be doing the painting myself... if i find the time to do that... so busy with work;

well anyway, any more tips on how to pimp my comp?? hehehe i want to have one cpu like those i see on the internet... way too cool.. those glowing lights and i saw one that has a plasma ball... hehehe its mej weird, pero cool...

glowing lights are easy all you need is a drill for light placement, also a soldering iron for modding a connection to the PSU. The plasma ball however i dunno cause the plasma balls i've seen are AC powered so u have to make hole para ma connect ang power cord to outlet rather than sa PSU.
