WoodWind: Netbook Covered in Fine-Grained Vinyl
Wired: Gadget Lab —
Therer are many reasons to love this MSI Wind mod (although it is actually a Medion Akoya Mini, just like the Gadget Lab Hackintosh). The wood-effect vinyl has been applied beautifully, free of unsightly seams and bubbles. The effect is to make the netbook look like a 1970s Music Center -- it even has a pointless flourish inside -- the wood covered trackpad (below).
Modder and MSI Wind forum member tankboyben has been asked if the trackpad works (that was our first question), but he hasn't yet answered. We asume it can't be made much worse than the unadorned trackpad (and tankboyben is using a Logitech Nano mouse there, ...
WoodWind mod turns MSI Wind into.. something else
Liliputing —

If you think everything looks better when coated with fake wood panels, you’ve got to check out the WoodWind, a modified MSI Wind (actually an Advent 4211 which is a rebanded Wind) with wood-style vinyl coating the case and trackpad.
The vinyl gives the illusion that the netbook is carved out of wood - until you open it and see all those newfangled shiny bits. For some reason, the guy behind this mod decied the trackpad would also look better with some vinyl covering. ...
