86 pounds to fix? Why? It's still under warranty.

Thats true mate it was still under warranty but it was void as they did not put in my cd drive and extra ram .Going to keep my hands away from it now,maybe i should have blagged it but I am happy to get it back

I want to upgrade my MPC 5000 using Forat's services but it can take up to 3 weeks to get my MPC back. It is going to hard to part with it that long. I want to add wood side panels/front arm rest. But I want the finish to be black. I also one a clear coat to the top side of my MPC to keep a beautiful black shine.

^^^ It would be great to see some pics when you get that work completed - sounds very cool!

That sounds like it will look amazing cant wait to see some pics of that
