Hein Holt had a pretty cool one, replacing some of the keys with different-coloured ones, so it spelled HD (=Hein Design). Maybe he'll bring it with him to the Primary Star meeting this weekend .. |

Why oh why there aren't any transparent c64 breadbox cases? would look awesome with some blue (or red) cold cathode fluorescent tube inside it... :P

It would look cool, but it would also look expensive, because it would be, because you'd have to have the case custom made.
Incidentally... I just bought a can of chrome spray paint (if you know what I'm talking about) for fixing some of the bits on my car... but the can is still mostly full, and I _do_ have this 64C sitting around that isn't currently in use...
Stay tuned. I've got a bit of time to kill this weekend.

I've spraypainted my breadbox in black, and added a "commodore" mark in red using the old font (the one you find in PETs, my fave).
It's getting modded further with the addition of knobs atop (connected to pots wired straight to the POTX/POTY lines) for future musical applications. It will also get its kernal replaced with some music tool I will, hopefully, build in the future (there come the pots into play :D)

Here is a transparent upper half of a c64c..
A bit shoddy workmanship, but what can be expected from a homemade case..
i just wish there was a factory which could do a bulk of good quality 1:1 detail cases (both halves!) *sigh* |

I once sprayed one of my breadbox 64`s True Blue. The paint i used was car paint, it never flaked or chipped it lasted until the machine died. |

Yeah, last summer I used a spray made for a car and chrome-plated my original 64C. I thought I was being pretty shoddy, because I only did a half-assed job of cleaning the case and whatnot before putting it in the driveway and shooting it (and the actual painting also only took maybe half an hour), but it actually turned out pretty nice.
One quick and dirty picture of it at:
