And a side q... that one's freaky, I know...
Digging through my stuff I accidentally uncovered a Samsung AT-standard keyboard in ideal shape. Bought about three years ago or so, used maybe for a year. Cleaned all the dirt that stuck to it.
Now... I have this weird idea about modding that keyboard :
-Sanding down irregularities on the top panel (what grit sandpaper would be neccesary?)
-Spray-painting the whole thing black
-Hand-painting the letters and whatnot on the buttons... in a gothic font.
Also, I thought about unsoldering the LED's from the keyboard's PCB and soldering in some of a different color (red, yellow, orange... blue?) - they are all standard 12-V LED's you can buy in any electronics store for about 0,25$ or even less.
So... what do you you think of that idea? Good, bad or just plain outlandish?

I like the idea of modding the keyboard. It'd be way cool to do the letters, instead of some gothic font, in some inreadable script. I mean, you know where the letters are or should be. Make up some strange language.
