Florencia: Stage 1 Alpha

A couple of years ago I got an ASUS BAL5-U46E. I got her at Best Buy for about $620. 8GB RAM, 750GB storage, good specs overall for the price. The last one they had was a shelf display, so I felt mine was special. I named her Florencia, and she is a classy lady.

Well about a year after buying her, the plastic under her hinges snapped (a common issue with this particular model, as I found) and I couldn't screw it back on. So she just progressively got worse, causing the LCD to get damaged. So I was like "you can pay to repair her (a good couple hundred bucks), you can watch her break more, OR you can fix her yourself." The cheapest, most fun option is to fix her myself.




I always thought of Florencia as a classy lady spy from the 1940's. My case mod is going to replicate something along those lines. So far, she's in a brown leather case with a set of number combination locks on the front. the base is mounted to another case which holds her charger and other lovely parts.
