Very Nice! Mind linking to a larger pic of that Tesla schematic? Wish ATI would have given you a 5870 :D and not a 4890.

Good luck with that. Painting a KB is just PITA (done it a few times). HOWEVER, if you can get a white (or close to it) you can easily do this:

The dissection of a Psyko Audio Headset, before prepped for Camo paint

The padded ear cup pads can be popped off with their pivoting bases (grab around the top of the plastic ring and pull it out).

The clear cup cover is easily removed, once the outter trim piece is removed.

The clear cover pops off (push a small flat head screw driver into the gaps to pry off).

The pads are peeled off. I used a small flat head screw driver to pry up the edge first.

You can peel off the top 5 pads to reveal 5 screws holding on the top Silver cover.

I agree! After the pads are removed, the headset is re-assembled before being masked off before camo paint job. It's easier to apply the camo stencils when it's all assembled without the pads

I'm picking up the camouflage Psyko Audio headset from Brad today. Yippee!

Next up for the german wwII camo paint, this 15" HD/TV LCD, small, but it's all I have available.. Hey, add a handle and it's a nice mate to our panzerbox. I'll have to look into the handle option.
