A member over at the msiwind.net forums named tankboyben has posted up pictures of their home designed netbook, a rebranded MSI Wind, the Advent 4211. The budding netbook designer has used wood effect sticky vinyl to cover the lid of the 4211 and to cover the trackpad too:

The creator acknowledges that the design isn’t going to be to everyones taste and in fact his dad thinks it looks like a school canteen tray which, I admit was my very first thought when I saw it! Love it or hate it though, it’s individual and it seems to be a job well done.

Burning issue for me though is does that trackpad still work with the vinyl stuck on it? Tankboyben hasn’t logged back in yet to answer that question unfortunately.

Anyone else have the urge to back their netbook in sticky back plastic?
