Modding an old laptop

[Captain Slow]

Here's the deal, I've got an old Dell 8000 laptop that I use just for writing. It runs a VERY minimal Linux install and is just basically a glorified typewriter. I'm wanting to do something cool with it so here are some ideas so far:

- Paint it
- Paint it with wrinkle-coat paint
- Spray it with Plasti-Dip (rubberized coating)
- Stickerbomb it
- Camo paint it
- Cover it in vinyl wrap (maybe carbon fiber or something)
- Possible see-through parts
- Disconnecting the optical drive and anything else I can that will save battery power

Any more ideas? I'm looking to make it REALLY unique so help me out here guys. I will be disassembling it for the process so I can make more substantial mods to it while it's apart. Give me some great ideas!
