I found a Pentium 4 at a local thrift store for $6.99. Nothing special other than it had one of those generic "90's beige PC tower" cases. No turbo button but the kind of case your local PC shop used a million times back then.
So I thought what better case to put a 386 in!
I've managed to clean the case up pretty good but there are tons of blue ink and scratches that I can't seem to get off. I could use some baking soda but I'm not sure if it's worth the effort. Now, call me crazy but I actually like the beige, boring PC cases of the 80's and 90's. But, is this a good candidate for painting? Nothing too crazy. I'm a preservationist at heart so it's hard for me to change the overall look of a vintage PC but I'm not sure if this qualifies.
What do you think? If I paint, what color would you recommend?
