Can do, I'll be posting some photos in the near future on Dove-Net when I start modding my 800. I may try the dishwasher trick on it to remove some of the yellowing, the case is lookin REAL old these days.
What dishwasher trick? I suppose it depends on why your case has yellowed, but the last time I read about it this had something to do with flame retardants in the plastic and exposure to light over a long period of time - not something a wash would normally fix.
There is a solution called "retrobrite" (essentially peroxide and OxyClean) that you can make, spread on the plastic, then expose it to UV light. A day or so later the plastic would be back to its original colour. I forget how it works on a basic level, but I remember an interesting read on the subject four or five years ago.
