There is a thread on this site regarding customizing the 2kxl. It made me wonder what kind of mods people have done to their 1k. It's also been a while since anyone posted their latest splashscreens... Peace

i posted a few splash screens i made just a couple weeks ago in this thread here:

i haven't done any physical customizing to my MPC though... but it'd be nice to see a new round of pics of what people have done. i'll admit, i'd consider buying wooden side panels if they sold them... i love seeing wood on vintage looking gear.

I was thinking that too. Wooden side panels would look great especially with the blue version... If you look on the Forat site, they have tons of customized MPC's but not one 1k. But the blue mpcs with a light colored wood panel look great.

I've been wanting to add wooden side panels for quite awhile...

I have access to a wood shop just need to make the correct sizings for the screws/attachments

I've considered black walnut or cherry,
purple heart would look great on a blue 1k!


also I'd love to get Black Pads for my 1K, it would look DEADLY !

:twisted:

I was thinking of putting a Texas Instrumets logo where the MPC 1000 logo is so I can fool people into thinking it's a prehistoric calculator.

it looks to me like splinter prefers the mv because of the optional monitor screen.
