Pet Shop Boys Fans - Help!

What do I call this computer? I took it apart to replace the LCD display screen and while I had it open I figured I'd customize it based on the Pet Shop Boys' Nightlife era. I sent pics to one of the Mac mod websites and they said they'll feature it but I need to come up with a clever name for it.

You really have to see it in person. The whole thing just sparkles, twinkles and shines. This is what it looked like originally:

I removed the white paint which was on the inside of the clear case. I then hit the inside with a few layers of glitter spray and coated it in silver spray paint.

Here's what the desktop looks like, the inspiration for the case modification. I took this photo of the orange topped, glistening maestros of electro-disco-pop-art at an autograph signing in [b]New York City. Boy[/b], that was [b]not a bored day[/b] by any stretch. It was at the Virgin Megastore, [b]where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway.[/b][8D]

Very cool!

It's gotta be petshopBook, but I think you should use caps, as in PetShopBook.

Or, you could go with NewYorkCityBook...

Marv,

Didn't vote on a name but just wanted to mention to you that the PSB customization is awesome.

The computer might be saying "What Have I Done To Deserve This?". Just kidding.

I went with PetShopBook. It just flows

At least it's not "Being Boring". [:)]
