This thing took a while, the screen had about 15 lines of dead pxels so it took about an hour alone to fix that, not ti mention it was horribly beat up. I put in an inverted tri smd led backlight from kitsh-bent, neon green buttons from kitsch bent, and I installed a pro sound mod.

Good job! I like the color scheme.
If you can track down one of those old green third party screen covers, they match the buttons really well. Here's and older one I did:
That's cool man, like how it looks. Did you paint it yourself, if so, what did you use?

Yup, I used Gloss Black Dupli-Color Premium Enamel and clear coat, gives it a really nice finish, I used the same paint for my computer, only problem is that it takes a couple of days to fully cure.
looks really nice, well done!
Thanks

Do you know who made them or what they were called? I would really like to get my hands on one

I don't know much information about them unfortunately enough. I found a guy that had a bunch stored and bought them off him at a hefty price, but they're mostly all gone now.
They didn't appear to come in any sort of real packaging, and I haven't been able to figure out the manufacturer.

Also, for your labels did you buy the stickers pre-made or did you just print them off? (or are they painted on?)
Digging the black. I'll have to track the paint you mentioned above for my next mod. I'm planning on doing the same thing, but with a red backlight and red translucent buttons, although I might paint the inside of the buttons black to make it pop more.

They're DIY decals. I actually have some made that I don't plan on using if you'd like some.

Have you ever seen the clear cases that people paint from the inside? They look sick!
I did that to my rhythm gameboy! It's a clear case painted white from the inside. I gotta do another coat and fix the screen though
