LETS SEE YOUR CUSTOM MPC 1000!

Bumping this dead thread.

thats **** beautiful man. Cleanest 1000 I ever seen. A blue screen tho, thats what would complete it.

black/white one would also look sleek.


I'm a fan of the black pads, they do look a lot cleaner than the stock grey. I recently got a set of black fat pads.

+1 really think the black/white LCD screen would really set it off

Cheers, guys. I've been thinking about throwing a white/black XLCD on eventually.

I have one black and one white LCD. I'd recommend the black over the white for overall visibility and off angle viewing. The white is nice, but honestly the strong contrast of the white text on a black background is surprisingly easy on the eyes.

For the XLCD I guess you just invert and get both though. Just wanted to mention the easy viewing on the black ones ,as it certainly wasn't my first thought on how they'd be.

Man some of these customs are off the chain!! Just copped a 1k....do yall know a site to get mine decked out?

Well... you can eliminate Forat then.

Probably GhostinMPC is to expensive as well from prices he quoted me.

But MPCStuff has the Styleflip adhesives and the buttons are a better deal in the packages, and $100-$125 is nothing to never look at a green LCD again.

How much they charge...$500...a g?

If that's the case I just buy from mpcstuff....I just like to have it real pimped out like that midnight black one but with some logos or my name.

These were the base prices GhostinMPC quoted for me about 18 months ago, obviously it may have changed and would be best to contact him.

"[paint customization(case, knobs, buttons)] $300- (3 weeks)
[Replace Floppy Drive to Card Drive] $200
[Internal Speaker modify] $200
[LCD screen inversion modify] $100

And it costs shipping rate."


Glewfactory, a member here was kind enough to do a walk through of re-screening the lettering back on the case. (The toughest part of a serious MPC customization). He's leaning strongly to offering the lettering process at a reasonable price.

A steady source for the lettering aspect would be huge for everyone as the users themselves could buff/re-paint the cases however they like and then ship it off to Glewfactory (provided he does make a business venture out of it) and it's a wrap.

There are lots of threads here on stripping and repainting MPC cases, but as I mentioned the lettering was the tricky part for a long time now.
