for a large PC tower case :^)
Keeping in mind, that (at least in the past) if you paid IBM enough, you
could get a mainframe done in just about any color scheme that you wanted.
I have to think that the wildest one that I personally experienced, was at
a Ralston Purina (feed) plant. And yes, as you might guess (or fear) the
entire system was painted in red and white checkerboard.

Ok, something subtle like the way that doodlebugs (VW Beetles) were
sometimes decorated in the 1960s and 1970s? Also, how about black
backgrounds with flourescent dragons, faeries, crystal-balls, trees,
unicorns, streams, waterfalls, horses, etc. painted on them? Hmmm, my
collection would look rather neat that way. Does anyone know an
artist who's into painting computers? :-)
