Looking good.

I never thought of painting them before.

It is a shame that things get yellow. I was looking at a photo of my PC from about 2001 and it is definately yellower now.

That monitor looks very yellow as well. I hope that is going to get a bit of cleaning as well. My 1438 was more yellowed than my PC, but no where near as much as that. Unfortunately the RGB connector was a bit dodgy.

On the subject of 1438s, are the stands on them normally very loose? Mine is, which isn't a problem for me, but if you don't want the monitor to move at all it could be. (It is loose enough to be able to tilt the monitor if you pull the RGB cable slightly).
