Ok, I am in the process of modding my DC...

Blue Shell (case)
modchip
replaceable internal battery
green main led

What are some other things that I should do?

Hold up, do you know what your going to have to do when you say that? From what I have heard its not even worth the effort and willn't be a 'clean' job, in fact I have never heard of someone even trying because everyone gives up (that I have come across) after they see what they have to do.

Would be cool to see the blue shell cut up some with 'windows' in it.

I was drifting more along the lines of spinners myself, but, hey, to each their own.

i think its a bad idea removing the cases now tho from my experience once you start playing around with the insides of the machine it just shortens its life my blue dc only lasted for a half dozen months or so after i changed it now its fucked, anyway i think its a better idea to just lift the top of and paint that.

you have to take it all apart remove it from its original and rebuild it seperating boards and unplugging things. unless your an expert or v lucky then it gets buggered. mine did 3 times anyway. just my opinion
